The Taylor's US RV Trip: Day 47 : Train Ride to the Canyon

So this morning we got up and ate breakfast preparing for our train ride to the South rim of the Grand Canyon. Before the train ride we got to enjoy and western gun fight. We boarded our train the Coconino and started our 2 hour and 15 minute journey to the South Rim. It was a quite scenic ride and the girls enjoyed the train ride a lot. Once we got to the Grand Canyon we got on our tour bus and went for lunch (not very good). After lunch we took a two hour tour of the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I have to say it was much larger than I imagined. I think they said it was about 10 miles on average wide. We got some gorgeous views of the canyon on our different stops and some great pictures. I even got Colleen to look over the edge several times which were quite a feat. We boarded the train for our trip back at 3:30pm. On our way backed we got robbed by some bandits on horses. The cowboys were quite entertaining as well as the Western singers entertaining the passengers. There was a father and his two sons who made quite the trio when they sang together. After we got back we headed downtown to do some shopping, eat dinner and watch the gun shootout downtown. I think Colleen is living out here fantasy of being married to a cowboy as she has gotten me to buy a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Well tomorrow we will be hanging around Williams probably go swimming in the Hotel pool and do some laundry. Till tomorrow!!!
