This train takes tourists from Williams to the Grand Canyon South Rim and return on a daily basis.

Bertha, basically stayed at our accommodation while we travelled the Grand Canyon South Rim complex by the free shuttle bus. Leaving Yavapai Lodge to take the blue line shuttle to the terminus on the red line. Yes these free shuttle lines engulf klms and klms of South Rim roads. What we did is…. took the South Rim trail along an easterly direction and effectively leaped frogged from one shuttle, walked to the next and took the next shuttle bus to the next stop…and so on. Shuttle buses are serviced on a 10 minutes basis and after finding the end 16 klms away at Hermit’s Rest we returned to the Village Centre for lunch. What we seen was different aspects of the Grand Canyon overlooking to the North Rim and as we said before pictures do not do justice of what we see in our own eyes. We had lunch at the Bright Angel Lodge and walked to the train depot a saw the daily train from Williams to the Grand Canyon. Neil and Anne returned to the accommodation for a rest while Meng and Choon explored the other areas of the South Rim. Dinner at the Yavapai Lodge finished a great day with great walking temperature experienced and we had clear skies to allow great photo takings. Tomorrow we are off to Las Vegas (Sin City) so cheers to all our readers.
