Grand Canyon Railway

The Grand Canyon has always been one of the top places to visit in the United States. In order to see it from a different perspective it is possible to take the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, Arizona. The railway takes a historic train tour to Grand Canyon National Park. There are rail only reservations with four classes of services. Also, one can choose a tour package with a hotel and park stay. There is the Polar Express tour option too. The Grand Canyon Railway began in 1901 with its first trip to the legendary canyon. The railway was around long before helicopter, air, or white water rafting tours. It was even before paved roads.

This is one reason some visitors enjoy the old fashioned trip. Each year the railway sees about 230,000 people. The getaway package for a tour is a 2 day trip for $154 per person. There is a 3 day trip for $223 per person, and a senior package for $317 per person. The senior trip is 3 days, but offers a little more comfort for the older generations. A Grand Canyon limited tour is 3 days for $200. There is also a limited plus tour for 4 days at $270.
