[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] There is little of merit in Winslow, other than the LaPosada, except a very small museum in town. So, if you take the train there, just enjoy the R&R and great food at LaPosada for a couple days. On the outskirts of town the airfield slumbers on, far removed from its [URL=http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/1975/1/1975_1_22.shtml]glory years[/URL] when it was a stop on the new transcontinental rail/air route. Otherwise, you will need a car. For that take the train to Flagstaff (Hertz in the station). Lots to see in that town (of course the Grand Canyon an hour or so away). The drive over to Winslow is painless, esp. @75 mph, about 90 miles. With a car, many attractions within a pleasant one day outing (the LaPosada makes excellent picnic lunches to go): Hubbell Trading Post, Painted Desert/Petrified Forest N.P., 2nd Mesa Hopi reservation, Meteor Crater, and a bit farther, Canyon de Chelly N.M.
