Tours from Williams, Arizona

The phrase "Gateway to the Grand Canyon" was trademarked by the Williams Chamber of Commerce in 1984, and the city of Williams, Arizona built an actual arch style gateway in 2009.  This small town (population 3000) clearly works hard to promote it's location an hour's drive South of Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim.  The town has a small town charm and is the Southern Terminus for the Grand Canyon Railway that transports passengers on a 2.5 hour one way train ride to Grand Canyon Village.  It is also the location of a relatively new drive though animal park called Bearizona that showcases native Northern American animals.

What is the best season to visit Williams?

Williams is a small town with comparatively fewer hotels and restaurants as other "gateway" cities of Flagstaff and Sedona.  However, it will appeal to those who are looking for a little small town charm, and more "touristy" activities such as wild west cowboy shows and Route 66 memorabilia.  Williams is located just 20 miles West of Flagstaff and has a similar climate to it's larger cousin to the East.  Spring, Summer and Fall are the primary visitor seasons for this Northern Arizona location.
