Grand Canyon Railroad

Several of us spent a few days in the Williams area boondocking in our Rv's and decided to take the train up to the Grand Canyon and what a great way to go. It was a BLAST!
Brigid, our PSA, Public Service Assistant, was a delight for the whole journey. She kept us informed as what to do and suggestions of what NOT to do while at the Canyon. She was very entertaining and even had a few "Dad" jokes to provide some humor along the way. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Along the trip up, we spotted some Prairie Dogs, Antelope, Wild Horses and Elk to help keep the cameras a clicking!! The terrain was very diverse going from a Ponderosa Pine Forest to dry desert conditions back into a heavily rock and treed area of pine and cedar near the Grand Canyon National Park.
The time seemed to fly by as you made the 2hr 15 min, one way, journey with all the onboard entertainment, wildlife spotting and just gazing at the beautiful landscape. It is a definite do again if we are back in the area and for those deciding to do or not to do..... it's positively a DO!
There are many options of "seating cars" for the trip, so depending on what you want to pay, there is room for everyone! To me, they're all great seats and views are plenty. Enjoy your trip, I know we did!

My wife and I spent a couple days in Williams, AZ on our RV trip in 2017. During our stay we took the Grand Canyon Railway tour and were very pleased with the whole experience. The journey from Williams to the Grand Canyon was a little long but the scenery and entertainment were great. We got the basic seating on the train (nothing fancy) but it was comfortable and we were able to see all that could be seen. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone, but especially for families.

Helpful & cheerful staff. Very informative. The "train robbers" & sheriff were entertaining
