Originally, a bawdy “wild
west” mountain town and logging center, Williams, Arizona is now a quaint
mountain settlement where shoppers peruse 19th century storefronts
and listen for the nostalgic sound of the train whistle from the historic depot
of the Grand Canyon Railway at the center of town. Surrounding the town are
canyons and mountains whose breathtaking beauty is impossible to imagine unless
seen first hand; and then, once seen, impossible to forget.
Williams is nestled at the
base of the Bill Williams Mountain, in the Kaibab National Forest, off
interstate 40, just 30 minutes west of Flagstaff. Route 66 runs through the
center of town, looking much the same as it did in the 1960s. Spring flowers and
fall colors decorate the roadsides of famous Route 66, once known as America's
Main Street, which served as a national thoroughfare from Chicago to Santa
Monica for Dust Bowl migrants, World War II troops, and millions of travelers
heading West. Visitors enjoy the ambiance of those days in soda fountains,
restaurants, vintage shops, and motels that line the historic road.
The climate in Williams is
temperate. The low winter temperature average is 23 degrees, and the summer high
average is 80 degrees. Williams is known as the "Gateway to the Grand Canyon",
and offers the shortest path to the Grand Canyon from Interstate 40 (only 59
miles).
The Grand Canyon Railroad
provides daily trips to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Walnut Canyon and
Wupatki National Monuments are an hour away; sites of several 12th-century
Indian ruins are nearby; Sunset Crater, the remains of a once-active volcano;
and the San Francisco Peaks, the highest elevation in Arizona, all are within a
short drive of Williams.
