Shuttletrain’s
Wanderings-Grand Canyon
Part
One
Welcome
back to Shuttletrain’s Wanderings. This time Mrs. Shuttletrain and I headed west for our honeymoon, to spend Thanksgiving
at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We chose AMTRAK and the Grand Canyon
Railway to get there. We left Washington, Missouri on a Sunday afternoon and
head west to Kansas City where I proposed to my future bride.
We
arrived at Kansas City Union Station and headed to the Westin at Crown Center.
We took some pictures of Union Station from our hotel room.
I
took some pictures of Downtown Kansas City, Missouri nighttime skyline.
On
Tuesday night, we boarded the Southwest Chief and headed west into the Kansas
night.
We awoke in Colorado and enjoyed the sights of
the desert.
The desert looks just like the pictures of it in the
textbooks when I was growing up. We arrived in Williams Junction, AZ where the
van to the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel picked us up. But, we will continue with
that part of the wandering in Part Two
