The internet has been wonky for the last couple of days, so I will post this message without photos and then try my luck with a few pictures, not that they do justice to the Canyon.
On Monday, we took the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon, riding in a 1923 Pullman coach car. The train ride was entertaining, starting with a Wild West show of sorts, a cowboy singer on the train, and on the return trip, a train robbery by the notorious Cataract Gang,
The Canyon, of course, defies description. It was my first visit, and I was properly awed. I was brave enough to walk a little way down Bright Angel trail, but I was happier on the rim, away from the edge, enjoying the ever changing views and colors. Monday was a lovely day and Tuesday was clear, but increasingly windy.
I am writing this post at the Grand Canyon Caverns, about 9 miles east of Peach Springs, Arizona. Once again, we loaded bikes in a UHaul to get here, as the wind has been blowing out of the west at a steady 25 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. Not sure what tomorrow will bring.
Stay safe! The weather in the West has been crazy, with blizzards in one direction, heat in the other, and very high winds in the SW.
