When to go to Grand Canyon (Williams)?

Route 66 storefronts still line Williams, along with a historic railway that runs up to the South Rim. Up there, Mather Point and the Bright Angel trailhead open onto the canyon's layered red walls, while the Skywalk, further west, hangs a glass floor over the drop. Between the two: ponderosa pine, dry air and woodsmoke from the roadside diners.
