Flagstaff, Arizona

My first train trip in U.S. ever to Flagstaff, took 6 hours. It was a very pleasant one, not just mention the bar and restaurant, but especilly because of great sceneries. When I arrived at night, I was lucky to get a room at a motel near railway station. Day before yesterday I then went trough the historical part of this, another well known Wild West town, with about 60,000 population. The most charming place is The Weatherford Hotel,built at the end of 19'th century, where Zane Grey wrote his maybe most famous novel, The Call of Canyon. Other guests the hotel has noted, were President Theodore Roosewelt and the publisher Randolph Hearst. I yesterday went to see that magnificent Grand Canyon. I just was amazed, the trip was worth of every penny ($88.)and took 10 hours.
Tonight I shall take again a nightly Greyhound to be early in the morning in Las Vegas.
