When we came to the Grand Canyon, I thought that a float trip down the Colorado River would be fun. But.....thinking about it...it was 40 degrees and the wind was blowing about 35 miles per hour and somehow getting wet under those conditions did not seem like alot of fun. So.....The train ride is a float trip without water!!
On the train ride entertainment was provided for the passengers. This fellow played the fiddled and sang old cowboy songs.
This is the Grand Canyon train. Picture taken from the cars behind as it went around a curve. There were 14 cars on this train.
At the Depot in the Grand Canyon National Park.
On the way home of course the train was 'held up' by a group of train robbers. The fun thing is that these train robbers were the same cowboys that were in the shoot-out in the morning. As the saying goes, old cowboys never get shot they just return as train robbers.
