    We took our disabled son about 14 years ago and I have been thinking we need to go again. He loved it especially when Santa came through - his whole face just lit up! We camped at the KOA and I would like to spend more time in Williams. We live in So Cal :) too. We love CA and have had a great life here (originally from NE PA). I've been to 56 NPs and planning to finish in 2023. My son and I enjoy your videos!

    The Grand Canyon is majestic all year around, but snow adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the sight! I had been to the Grand Canyon more than a dozen times without ever seeing snow, but when I saw the canyon covered in snow, it took my breath away.

    I went with 2 of my grandsons 3 years ago. Oldest at that time was 9 yrs old and the youngest was 2. I agree, 2 was too young. We live in Indiana and we went to the Polar Express in Connersville about an hour from Indianapolis. All the adults wore PJ's as did the kids. We all had fun, but wish my youngest was older at that time.

    Merry Christmas y'all! Bet you will have a FABulous time. Interesting getaway - I'd guess 4+ would love this - I guess a good way to gauge, would be what's your kid's attention span? As you said hour & half is a long time in a two-year old's world! But I bet they'll still remember it - def take them back in a few years & trying taking them down the Canyon a little, just to get an idea of the SIZE of the thing. Be very difficult for a little one to judge that! Happy Christmas Josh & Family from Tasmania!
