The Grand Canyon: Oct 2004

Mark had to go to Phoenix, AZ for a business meeting in October 2004. I flew out at the end of the week and we drove up to the Grand Canyon. I had never been there so it was awesome! A friend of ours told us about the "Grand Canyon Railway" so we signed up and took the train from Williams, AZ to the canyon.

As we drove from Phoenix to Williams we slowly climbed in elevation and the weather became progressively worse!




We rode in the luxury car where they served cocktails and we could go to the back of the train and stand on the balcony. Bev was our server in the luxury car and she was a riot! We had a very good time!
We finally arrived at the Grand Canyon and we were a bit nervous because it was locked in with fog. However, we had lunch and by the time we got done the fog had lifed and we had a very good tour of the canyon. The views were spectacular...these pictures do not give it justice but...they're still good!
