Paul Pressy took these pictures from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon near Williams, AZ, the “short route” to the canyon from Interstate 40, as he explained in a recent note, 59 miles instead of 87 miles from the Flagstaff exit, then another 23 miles from the East entrance to the rim. The travellers needed to be in California before dark that day, so the short route was the obvious choice, even if gas prices weren’t skyrocketing. For those who have more time to spend, Paul notes that there are bus tours to the Grand Canyon out of both Flagstaff and Williams.
As you can see (especially if you zoom in to read the sign) they made it to California just as the sun was setting.
