Our location - Grand
Canyon
Grand Canyon National Park |
Mark had been to the Grand Canyon in 1976 on a whirlwind two-week tour of the west. Mark was entranced by just standing on the
rim and taking in the grand view of the Canyon. Mark was ready to just drive to the Grand Canyon and stand on the rim again.
As Dale was making reservations for our stay in the Grand Canyon/Williams, AZ area,
she started of thinking of taking the train ride
from Williams to the Grand Canyon. Mark was not excited about
the train tour. Then Dale noticed a link to
Marvelous Marv's Tours.
Marv Mason uses a small tour van and takes only up to 12 people at a
time on an all-day guided tour. Mark felt that a guided tour might
be worth it since Marv would do the driving and we wouldn't have to
find parking spots at the Park.

This is Marvelous Marv Mason, the tour guide we used. Marv has
been giving Grand Canyon tour's for 30 years as evident by his flow
of information about the Grand Canyon and the Williams area. |
 |
Marv relayed extensive knowledge of the Grand Canyon.
Marv took pictures of his tour members using the Grand Canyon as a backdrop. |

After a day of a well organized, highly informative tour that was a well balanced mix of "see that" time and time to just look,
we can say Marvelous Marv's
Tour was well worth it.
You can just stand on the Grand Canyon rim and take in a breath-taking view, or you can take in an informative breath-taking view.
As for pictures, the Grand Canyon cannot be done justice with
photographs. Even the life-like realism of an IMAX movie
cannot give the sensation of standing on the rim of the Grand
Canyon. But we took some photographs anyways so maybe you have
the impetuous to visit the Grand Canyon.
