Hi everyone,
I like to research things and hope I understand the SWC & Grand Canyon options correctly. My questions are:
1. After riding the train to Flagstaff or Williams Junction, is taking "The Train" overkill? Does the convenience of it outweigh the cost? Or is there a good hotel within short walking distance of the Flagstaff station, then taking the Arizona Shuttle just as convenient? (I'm assuming it would be less expensive.)
2. I've tried to research this next question and no matter what search terms I use, I can't find a good answer, so hopefully you'll be able to help me: Which is the preferred route (best scenery, timing for Grand Canyon connection) on the SWC - LAX to CHI or CHI to LAX?
3. Is April a good time to go on the SW Chief? (I think if I go late April, the Canyon weather may be less iffy, according to my research.)
Thank you for your help and advice. I'm having such a good time with my trip planning!
