1 review of Grand Canyon Railway

Grand Canyon

The first passenger train arrived at Grand Canyon from Williams in 1901, when the current railway station wasn't yet built. Service has changed considerably since those old steam engines, and is today a great tourist walk. The Grand Canyon Railway departs daily from Williams at 9:30a and will surely be dismissed by real "cowboys" from their horses, which will later be loaded to the train and there will be a simulated assault in "Far West" style, taking some of the passenger's tickets as a reward. The journey to the Grand Canyon is about 100 miles and lasts just over two hours. The ride is surrounded by pine trees in a natural setting, where you can also see local wildlife.

All cars have air conditioning and large panoramic windows, but some also have a higher place called the "Observation Dome," a sort of glass dome from which you can appreciate the surrounding landscape in all its magnitude. These are the first places that sell out, despite not being the cheapest. The value of the tickets is about $70- $190 (twice that if a round trip), the most expensive includes refreshments and no children. The return trip from the Grand Canyon leaves at 3:30 pm and is back in Williams at 5:45pm.
