logistic nightmare - but it is happening.
i'll see the previous poster's auto trip from las vegas and raise him a round-trip train ride from williams az to the south rim.
we'll drive from ventura county to williams az.
hotel overnight.
grand canyon railway from williams to the south rim.
same day van shuttle from south rim to north rim.
hotel overnight.
hike north rim to south rim.
hotel two overnights.
grand canyon railway from south rim to williams.
hotel overnight.
drive home to ventura county.
for us, the biggest potential fly is october weather scratching the hike and/or van ride.
