A great way to experience the Grand Canyon
is to enjoy a train ride from Williams, AZ to the South Rim. This is a highly recommended tour for those seeking a unique and convenient
mode of transportation into the Park.
Passengers may choose from five classes of service as they travel across 65 miles of beautiful northern Arizona. Families will enjoy the historic nature of the tour, as many
cars are restored to circa 1923. Strolling musicians and western characters combine to recreate an experience of train travel as it was at the turn-of-the-ce ntury. Take a few
moments to tour the depot, which was constructed in 1910.
During your 3-1/2 hour layover at the Grand Canyon, you may spend the time on your own (there is a free shuttle service
operating), enjoy lunch at one of the area hotels, or browse gift shops.
All prices are subject to change and do NOT include tax. Park entrance fees are set by the National Park Service and may be waived if you provide your parks pass number.
