Get a Taste of the Wild, Wild West

Williams is a small, vibrant mountain community founded in the late 1800s. The town’s name comes from the legendary trapper and mountain man, “Old Bill” Williams.

The colorful past comes alive in William’s historic district, with streets lined with saloons, bordellos and shops. In the summer months, Williams turns into a wild western town of bygone days. You can experience how the west once was, with cowboys and gun-toting buckskinners roaming our streets.

Take a Vintage Train Ride

If a little bit of century-old history strikes your fancy, visit the Historic Grand Canyon Railway. The famous vintage steam engine heads for the south rim of the Grand Canyon each morning year-round.

The excitement begins at the 1908 Williams Depot, where you can enjoy a free railroad museum, a quality gift shop, and the action of a Wild West shoot-out.

Feed a Deer

The Grand Canyon Deer Farm is just minutes away and houses a great array of beautiful animals. You can walk among them and let them eat right out of your hand!

Explore the Depths

Another national wonder, the Grand Canyon Caverns bring visitors in throughout the year. Its limestone caverns reach 21 stories beneath the earth's surface and bear thousands of hidden treasures.

Experience Nature’s Palette

To the east of Williams, experience the grandeur of the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. It will seem as though you stepped right into a watercolor masterpiece, with rocks and petrified wood as colorful as the artist's palette.

Behold the Beauty of the Red Rocks

Mystical, magical Sedona holds more beauty than the eye can behold with its magnificent red rocks. Enjoy panoramic scenery in Oak Creek Canyon, one of the most beautiful drives in America and home of Slide Rock State Park.
