Fray Marcos, the new station hotel at Williams,
is built with wide porticos like an old Spanish mis-
sion. The construction is reinforced concrete. It
is named after Fray Marcos de Niza, who in 1539
led an expedition through Arizona in search of the
mythical gold. Williams is the gateway to the
Grand Canyon, which is 65 miles to the north.
Close to the town is Bill Williams Mountain, which
rises to a height of 9000 feet, on the summit of
which is buried the historic pioneer scout Bill
Williams, who was Fremont's guide
