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.

ABOUT MAKING A RESERVATION

:
- Coach/Budd (air-conditioned,
least expensive);
- First Class (recliner seats, air conditioning, server staff with continental breakfast and appetizers and champagne in the afternoon, bar service);
- Observation Class (First class with breathtaking views from dome car, air conditioned);
- Luxury Parlor Class (First class service in the last car of the train, air conditioned, featuring an open air platform).
