Another Highway Town

Currently In: Williams, AZ
Leaving for Glendale, UT today to begin our tour of Southern Utah National Parks

This is the largest Route 66 shield.  Another tourist destination!
We walked around downtown Williams one day - another town on route 66.  Many people use this as a stop to visit the Grand Canyon, but we had already been there a couple of times on this trip, so we hung out in town.

Lots of cute shops and Route 66 memorabilia, including this old gas station that is now a museum.

We stopped by the oldest bar in Arizona to celebrate the Browns win! Dilly Dilly!

There are lots of murals in downtown Williams - this one was my favorite since there is so much in it: nature and the settling of Arizona, the coming of the railroad, and Route 66.

The old train station is now the visitor center.  There are trains that run to the Grand Canyon every day.  We heard this train ride was not very scenic, so we took a pass.

The Williams clock stands at the train area.

This old building dates back to 1910 and and belonged to the the Postal Telegraph company.  There are lots of historic structures like this in Williams, but this is the only one with Elvis in the doorway!

Many of the shops and restaurants along Route 66 are fun like this one playing music from the 50's.

Our last night in Williams we were treated to a spectacular sunset.
