T op Things To Do The Grand Canyon Railway & Hotel
Route 66 Zipline
A perfect way to sit back and enjoy the ride to the Grand Canyon. This century-old rail line leaves Williams Depot every day at 9:30 a.m. traveling through ponderosa pine forests and prairie ranch land to a spectacular destination, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Every winter the Grand Canyon Railway’s Polar Express comes to life on a journey from the nighttime wilderness of Williams, Arizona, to the enchanted beauty of “the North Pole”—where Santa Claus and his reindeer are waiting with a keepsake present for every good boy and girl. www.thetrain.com
Right next to Grand Canyon Railway Depot in Williams, fly 1,400’ through the air on a family-friendly zipline ride. Be prepared for 30mph backward, 30 mph forward, 110’ high and 1,400’ round trip with an exciting stop at the end! It’s a tasteful rush to say the least; not too scary and definitely exciting even for those who “have no fear.” The Route 66 Zipline is perhaps the most unique way to view much of what Williams has to offer along Route 66. www.ziplineroute66.com
Bearizona Drive Thru Wildlife Park
Grand Canyon Deer Farm

Bring your fishing pole and try your luck at one of our five trout stocked lakes. The scenery is magnificent and the fish are mouth watering. The lakes can be fished from shore or in a boat. If “Big Boy” toys are your adrenaline rush then you owe it to yourself to explore our 1,143 miles of U.S. Forest Service roads in the National Kaibab Forest with your ATV, Rhino, Razor or Jeep.

T op Things To Do Lava River Cave
Experience a unique underground hike in Lava River Cave. This mile long volcanic lava tube was first discovered in 1913 and maintains a temperature of 32-40 degrees year around. It is located about 30 miles east of Williams but is easy to find. The U.S. Forest Service has made an attractive entrance down to this tube using native stone to form a stairway. Once inside the lava tube its ceiling is tall enough to stand upright. You must bring flashlights as once you are past the daylight you are in complete darkness.

he arrival of the Grand Canyon Railway in 1901 provided a comfortable and affordable alternative to the stage coach, and quickly became the preferred mode of travel to the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. The stagecoach companies were not happy with this development, but the guests arrived rested and ready to explore the newly famous gorge. The Santa Fe Railway provided the funding for guest accommodations and attractions, and worked hard to market the train and their new hotel, El Tovar, which opened in 1905. The Santa Fe hired the Fred Harvey Company to operate the new guest facilities, and El Tovar was a Harvey Hotel and a Harvey House Restaurant. The Historic District evolved and grew as tourism increased, and remains the center of activity at the South Rim today. There are many buildings of historical significance that visitors will find interesting in the Historic District during their visit to the South Rim. Mary Colter’s first building, the Hopi House, opened in 1905 to provide visitors with an opportunity to learn about Native Americans and their arts and crafts, and a chance to purchase a unique memento. Her iconic Lookout Studio and Hermits Rest were added in 1914 as additional destinations to relax and

explore the canyon vistas. As visitation increased, Bright Angel Lodge was added in 1935 as a lower cost option to El Tovar, and today houses the complimentary Fred Harvey History Room. Additional lodging was added in the 1970s and 1980s with the opening of Maswik Lodge, Thunderbird Lodge and Kachina Lodge. Kachina and Thunderbird lodges are right on the rim, while Maswik Lodge is just a short walk or shuttle ride away. Canyon views from overlooks in this area are stunning and offer a different perspective from those at Mather Point, where the Visitor Center is located. Today, Grand Canyon National Park Lodges operates 5 lodges on and near the rim, Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon, numerous restaurants and gift shops, in-park narrated motorcoach tours and the famous mule rides. Overnight guests will find a wide variety of lodging, shopping, and dining choices, and can conveniently enjoy the legendary canyon sunrise and sunset. Guests who are only visiting for the day will want to be sure to visit the Historic District to experience the human history that helps make a visit to Grand Canyon so special. Either way, a visit to Grand Canyon is sure to provide lasting memories and experiences. (Photos at Left Provided by Xanterra)
