Wonderful, relaxing way to see the high desert on our way to the spectacular Grand Canyon. Our host was funny and informative. The " Coyboys:" were as hokey as expected but a nice touch.
Great for all ages!

We booked the first class seats and were not disappointed. It was very nice to be able to relax as a crew of four (middle-aged couple traveling with senior parents) with the face to face cushy seats. This ticket provides unlimited water, coffee, sodas and snacks. A pastry and fruit spread for the morning commute to the canyon and a savory meat and cheese spread for the afternoon ride back. There is more variety plus alcohol options for additional purchase if interested in the dining car. It’s about a 90 minute ride to the canyon and back to the station with about 3 and a half hours of actual Grand Canyon time in the middle. While on the train you’re able to get up move around as needed. They’ll have entertaining roving musicians here and there. (Be sure to bring cash to give them an appreciative tip for the fun.) Most of the time is spent enjoying the slow amble of the train moving through the scrub-brush areas leading up to the canyon area. Once at the canyon, you’re dropped off on the western end of the visitor areas by Hotel El Tovar and Hopi House. Beautiful and easy walking trails guide you along the southern rim. Keep the map they give on you because it’s very helpful to give you an idea of how much is actually possible to see in that 3 hours time. Hop back on the train and enjoy the restful space on the way back to Williams. It was really nice not having to worry about buying/carrying snacks and drinks for the day, but knowing it will be provided as soon as you board. Make sure to a reserve a good cash tip for your train car attendant. They work hard to keep you happy! This is an excellent thing to do with people of all ages! Highly recommend. Was an absolute highlight of our trip!
Fun. Ms. Moffitt was fun...

Fun. Ms. Moffitt was fun with lots of train information. Sing-along cowboy was fun. All the surveys after suck.
