ARIZONA: Road Trip, Grand Canyon Train, Route 66 & Carefree Arizona
Details
Join us for a road trip that will take us up north to a Grand Canyon adventure.
November 13th: We'll leave southern Arizona the day before the train trip, so we can take our time and stop at a variety of places on the historic Route 66 (including Seligman [the city that inspired Cars' Radiator Springs], Hackberry General Store, Oatman (a ghost town) & anything else that sparks our interest.) There is a package that includes staying both nights at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel or you can get a hotel elsewhere.
November 14th: We'll ride the historic Grand Canyon Railway to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon. Enhance your Grand Canyon experience with an entertaining train ride featuring western musicians and cowboy characters on vintage rail cars. The train departs at 8:30am - and leaves the Grand Canyon at 2:30.
November 15th: Back to southern Arizona via Carefree, AZ (and anything we missed on the way north and the time in Williams.) We can have afternoon tea at the English Rose Tea Room (this will be posted as an event for a good head count), visit the Carefree sundial, and maybe a little shopping at the Rare Earth Gallery.
We can also stop at Pete's Route 66, Bearizona, Sweeties and/or Riordan Mansion State Historic Park. None of these stops are set in stone and more ideas are welcome? Please feel free to share in the comment section!

** I will be keeping my hotel room in Phoenix during the road trip. If you want to come north with us, but don't want to take all of your stuff or keep your room, you are welcome to store it in mine.
