Grand Canyon Railway

AAA Travel offers "Rails to the Rim" packages.
Grand Canyon Railway travels a century-old rail line through 65 miles of enchanting ponderosa pine forest, wide-open plains and winding canyons on its way to the South Rim of the world famous Grand Canyon.
The daily trip begins in Williams, a quaint mountain town in the pine forest of northern Arizona.
Be entertained aboard the train by the antics of Old West characters and the tunes of strolling musicians. There is even a Wild West Shootout with the Cataract Creek Gang before the train leaves.
Enjoy two gift shops, the historic Williams Depot, the delightful Grand Canyon Railway Hotel with Spenser's Pub, and great food at Grand Depot Cafe.
Located ½ mile south of I-40 via Grand Canyon Blvd., Williams, AZ
