Grand Canyon Railway

By Linda Tancs

Completed in 1901, Grand Canyon Railway is a heritage railroad which carries passengers between Williams, Arizona, and the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The train travels across the northern Arizona landscape, where you’ll watch the terrain change from high desert to prairie to pine. Entertaining for all ages, the 120-mile round-trip ride features performances by historical cowboy characters and strolling musicians. You’ll have more than three hours to explore the canyon. The railway also offers a hotel adjacent to the historic Williams Depot for those needing lodging. The train runs year round.
