Experience Williams

Experience Williams Experience Williams- Gateway to the Grand Canyon®! Williams, Arizona, is a very picturesque mountain town with Route 66 as the Main Street!
(33)

Less than an hour from the Grand Canyon, Williams has so many things to do…the Grand Canyon Railway departs from the train depot for the Canyon every day, see bears and amazing wildlife up close in Bearizona, walk, dine, and shop in historic downtown on Route 66 or stay in a motel right on the Mother Road. The town is nestled at the base of Bill Williams Mountain in one of the largest Ponderosa Pi

ne Forests in the world and there are miles of hiking trails, fishing, horseback riding, and skiing. Williams Main Street is one the best preserved stretches of the Mother Road in America. Walk Main Street and you’ll find vintage neon on buildings that are preserved to their original character, lots of fun shops with Route 66 merchandise, restaurants that have the character of the Route 66 heyday of the 50’s, coffee shops, internet cafes, and fine dining. Cowboys swagger through downtown and a gunfight breaks out every night right in the middle of the Mother Road April through October. Experience the down home friendliness of Williams year round during Festivals that range from rodeos, car shows, mountain men fests, home town beauty pageants, and the Christmas season Polar Express. Experience Williams- Gateway to the Grand Canyon®. Find yourself in Williams, Arizona before you visit the Grand Canyon, and we guarantee you’ll be making plans to return again and again.

Grand Canyon has some hot news to share! 🌞

The US National Weather Service Flagstaff Arizona has issued an excessive heat warning for parts of the canyon. The warning is in effect from 8 a.m. Thursday, June 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 7 for areas below 4,000 feet in the canyon including Phantom Ranch and Havasupai Gardens. Forecast temperatures in the shade range between 105 F/41 C and 111 F/44 C. Hotter than normal temperatures will also hit the rims, with highs of 92 F/33 C on the South Rim and 85 F/30 C on the North Rim. 🌡️

🚫 The National Park Service strongly advises against hiking below the rim during this time. Extreme heat can pose serious risks like heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

💧 Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of fluids and take breaks in the shade. Dress smartly in loose-fitting cotton clothes to beat the heat.

⏰ Plan your hikes wisely! Hit the trails before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. to avoid the scorching heat. Keep an eye out for warning signs like altered mental status, confusion, or fainting.

We've been sold out for a couple of months for Thanksgiving, but we've still got a couple of rooms available this Saturday if you want to come to Williams for a truly Hallmark-esque event. You might think you walked into a movie set, but our light-up Christmas parade and tree lighting take place every year. The town is a true Christmas village. Since restaurants will be packed, we're having a Chili Bar Dinner and sending guests off with cups of hot chocolate and cookies to go join the festivities. Book your room soon: https://www.sheridanhouseinn.com/
