Bearizona in Williams, AZ

Our plan for today was to explore/goof around in Flagstaff all day today before driving home tomorrow....but... Flagstaff was invaded by Arizona Cardinal people coming to watch the Cardinal Camp! I don't get the attraction, but apparently many people are interested in watching that. Flagstaff turned into Los Angeles made up of people with Cardinal shirts on. We were originally going to go to Lowell Observatory to see the planets thru a huge telescope, the pioneer museum, and Northern Arizona Museum. Maybe next time. We skipped town and drove to Williams which is about 30 miles west of Flagstaff. There is a new place that just opened up last year called Bearizona. It is kind of like a safari where you drive into different locations to see the bears, wolves, bighorn sheep, bison, etc. Then they have a separate area where there are many other animals in more of an enclosed area... pre-school and kindergarten bears, bobcats, peacocks walking around,... and... we went to a raptor show. The falcons swooped down on people just missing their heads.
Next we drove around Williams looking at potential camping areas for future trips. We didn't really see any that fit our "criteria"...i.e. a shower!!
