What to do and see in Williams, Arizona (AZ): The Best Sights & Landmarks

September 7, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

Its location just 60 miles from the southern rim of the Grand Canyon makes Williams a popular stop for visitors to the natural beauty of Arizona. The historic Grand Canyon Railway makes it southern stop here, ferrying hundreds of thousands of tourists every year to and from the Canyon on its hundred-year-old steam-powered line. In the more immediate surrounds, the Kaibab National Forest and the Bill Williams Mountain area provide ample opportunities for camping, hiking and adventure.

Phenomenal views for hundreds of miles in every direction

Got some clearance on your vehicle? You only need a little to tackle this fun road. We almost didn't try it because I read it would be bumpy, it wasn't at all and was very scenic, with thick trees and cooler temps welcoming you on the way to the top. We walked up part of the fire tower stairs for an incredible view, and spent nearly as much time ogling the trillions of ladybugs in the bushes. Hit the road up and have fun.

Nice and easy hike. beauty is all around you. Trail is marked and there is plenty of things to take in on the way into Keyhole Sink Trail. Once your there you do have to work to get some up close photos. BE CAREFUL and aware of your footings. Just sit and soak it all in. Was such a site.
