ARIZONA CITIES

Wilcox City Guide

Williams is nestled among valleys and meadows at the base of Bill Williams Mountain, located in the Kaibab National Forest of north-central Arizona.

Known as the Gateway to the Grand Canyon, it offers the shortest route from Interstate 40 to the splendor of the Canyon, about 59 miles north of the city. Founded in 1880, the city and the mountain were named for William S. "Bill" Williams, a famous master trapper and scout on the old Santa Fe Trail. At an elevation of 6,780 feet, Williams maintains its attractive small-town atmosphere, while large-town conveniences and entertainment are only 30 minutes away in Flagstaff via I-40. The Grand Canyon Railroad offers historic steam-engine train rides between Williams and the Grand Canyon.

ATTRACTIONS

In addition to the Grand Canyon, attractions in the Williams area include Bill Williams Mountain (elevation 9,264 feet), White Horse Lake and the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Area. Within an hour's drive are Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monuments, sites of several 12th-century Indian ruins; Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks, the highest elevation in Arizona. The surrounding Kaibab Forest provides hunting for deer, turkey, antelope, elk and small game in season. Camping is available with 200 National Forest campsites serving the region. In winter, the Williams Ski Area provides downhill skiing and sledding. Cross-country ski trails are also located nearby.
