Sedona and Grand Canyon Arizona

Wow to the enth degree!! These two places just blew us away. Anyone that has seen them would know what I am talking about. Those that have not had an opportunity must put them on your list of things to do. We spent two days in Sedona and two days here in Williams, AZ which is the closest town to the Grand Canyon (about 50 miles).

Williams has an interesting history in that the old Route 66 runs right through the town. Today we took a drive to Sycamore Canyon Vista that is a smaller version of the Grand Canyon. It was a real challenge to get to it in that we had to travel on a Forrest road for 17 miles. A Forrest road is quite bumpy so speeds average about 10 to 15 mph. We were the only ones that made the trip today as we saw no one on the way to the Point nor anyone on the way back. If that was not enough time on a dirt road we also took a trip up a mountain road to get to Bill Williams Mountain. The road was about as rough as one could ride on and serpentine for a full five miles. This was a real white knuckle drive going up and even worse going down. The views from the top of the mountain were spectacular so it was worth the drive.

Tomorrow we leave for LA to see Adam, Alma, and Amanda. We look forward to having some idle time for a few days (or weeks). More in a few days.

Miles of smiles.

Charlie, Andrea and Angel
