Williams, Arizona

Williams is a unique Arizona mountain town, rich in history and nostalgia.

Founded in the late 1800s by ranchers, railroaders, and lumbermen, Williams was named for the famous trapper and "mountain man," Bill Williams. A visit to Williams is like a trip back in time, to the days of the Western Pioneers, Cowboys and Indians. Surrounded by ponderosa pine forests, Williams offers a variety of great places to stay and dine, whether in luxury or just enjoying the rustic outdoors. Williams is famous as the "home base" for the Grand Canyon Railroad, and the center of year-round fun activities for the whole family.

There are a number of scenic drives on the Kaibab National Forest that provide great opportunities for viewing fall colors. Watch carefully as you drive along forest roads; you may catch a glimpse of a Kaibab squirrel amongst the golden aspen, or a flock of wild turkey along a meadow's edge.

Bill Williams Mountain Road:

This scenic route, Forest Road (FR) 111, winds its way to the top of Bill Williams Mountain. There are aspen groves along the roadside all the way to the summit. Once on top, you have excellent views of the San Francisco Peaks to the northeast, the Prescott/Chino Valley areas to the southwest, and the Grand Canyon to the north. The road is about 6 miles in length, has a cinder surface, and suitable for high clearance vehicles in dry weather only. The easiest access is from Williams; head south on Fourth Street, which eventually changes to County Road (CR) 73. Drive approximately 4 miles before turning right onto FR 111. The round trip time is about 2 hours from Williams.
