If I were wealthy (or just had enough money to do it) I’d have some type of travel vehicle and I’d go from one end of the country to the other. I’d go see all of the beautiful places and take the best routes, spend extra time in the places I like, and would enjoy meeting people all over the place. I can not afford to do this (in my heart I feel as if I cannot afford NOT to do this!). I do travel some but there’s soo much more I want to see, which is why I watch videos like this.

Enjoying all your northern Arizona videos very much. The wife and I are planning to fly from NC to Flagstaff in late October for a week long visit. We lived in Tucson in the early 70s and always talked about seeing Sedona, Grand Canyon, etc., but never made it up there. Our plan is to use Flagstaff as our home base, rent a car, and make lots of day trips to the surrounding areas. Of course I got to go stand on a corner in Winslow. :-) Thanks for sharing your adventures!

By me it's been in the 70s in the daytime and low 60s overnight since last weekend, but today it's in the mid 80s and I can feel the drop in comfort just in my apartment. At this stage of my life Spring and Fall are by far the best seasons for conducting my daily life and for any travel, even day trips.

When you head south to Flagstaff, go back along the south rim road. There's two places you have to stop at. One is Grand View, or something like that. The other is the Desert view Tower. Those two places will provide you with the best view of the entire length of the canyon that you can find. Keep going east and you'll hit a T intersection at Cameron. Turn right, I think it's highway 89, and you'll come in on the northeast side of Flagstaff. Also, if you've never seen it, Sunset Crater is worth the visit. It's just northeast of Flagstaff.

Russ, thanks for your trip to the Grand Canyon. I haven’t been there since ‘69. Boy, that area is built up. I rode my motorcycle from Flagstaff to the canyon on Saturday, camped out, and came back Sunday.

Never been to The Canyon by car, always by train. Southwest Chief to the Grand Canyon Railroad. Very enjoyable rides, nice people and lots to see when you get there. Williams is a cool town to explore. Have fun and safe travels.

This will be a nice treat, I've never seen the Grand Canons. I've been to the Grand Canons of the South which are in Breaks Park, they are beautiful. They are on Virginia & Kentucky border. There was a really nice restaurant that served country cooked meals before you went up the mountain. They had a group playing the Sunday we went which was nice. Nice campground.

Love the Grand Canyon. I've been several times and will go again. One of my conferences will be in Albuquerque next year. It's in summer so the Canyon will be crowded, but I still hope to stop for a few days. I've got my Senior Pass, bought when it was still $20, what a bargain. I had just gotten old enough and it was about to go to $40! Even at the price now, it pays for itself quickly. But the Grand Canyon. Definitely look forward to this trip. Have fun.

Yea, Russ. I've driven up there more times than I can remember, but never in the snow. I've never seen the canyon in the snow, Or even seen the North Rim. It's too bad that the Flintstone's village is going away this year (2019). This is the last summer you will be able to visit it as it is. it's turning into a dinosaur park exhibit. And btw, papillon is not the safest tour to travel up there. As always, I recommend anyone do their own history investigation before chartering a flight. "Too-See-Ann" is how I have always pronounced it.
