The town of Williams is popular stop for bikers, motorcycle clubs, and custom car enthusiasts. It is also the host for the annual Arizona H.O.G. Rally, held in June of each year. The ‘Cool Country Cruise In’ car show is held in Williams every summer. There are a few good day rides out of Williams. You can make a ‘round-trip’ to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon or take a ride thru the San Francisco Peaks on Hwy 181. For a short ride out of Williams I like to head south out of town on 4th street. This is Perkinsville Road, with about 20 miles of paved road through the countryside and high desert. If you need some work on your scooter while you are in Williams give Shayne a call at Grand Canyon Motorsports. Shayne is one of the best when it comes to Knuckles, Pans, Shovels and Evolution motors.

Founded in the late 1800’s, Williams was a popular place for the early settlers to farm, ranch, and cut timber. Williams, Arizona was named after ‘Old Bill” Williams, the famous ‘Mountain Man’. Williams had it’s share of saloons and bordellos and was a pretty rough little town in those days. Williams is on the National Register as an Arizona historic town. Williams, the ‘Gateway to the Grand Canyon, retains the nostalgia of earlier times and remains a very popular stop along the historic route 66.
Williams is a major destination for many tourists who visit the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon Railway provides tens of thousands of tourists a year an exceptional trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The train departs from downtown and takes two and half hours each way. Route 66, built in the mid 1920’s is the ‘Main Street’ in Williams. Local businesses and merchants have succeeded by maintaining the ambiance of ‘yesterday’.
Williams offers a wide variety of dining and lodging options for the traveler. If you want to wet your whistle with a freshly brewed beer stop by Grand Canyon Brewery right behind Cruisers Cafe for a glass of Sunset Amber Ale! The Sultana Bar is one of the oldest bars in Arizona and is located in the middle of town. It’s a great place to enjoy a cold one, shoot a game of pool and keep an eye on what is going on downtown. If you are planning to stay for a few days the Highlander Motel downtown is clean and convenient with reasonable rates. I like to park my bike right out in front of my room and you can do this at the Highlander.
