We just got back from our trip and enjoyed every minute, even the cheesy accordion player :-) What really was impressive was my wife incurred a very bad bout of altitudes sickness which caused us to postpone the trip the morning we were to leave. Heather at the depot office went out of her way to rearrange everything for us!... More

I wanted so much to LOVE the train. First, I love trains--especially vintage ones. Second, the write-ups promised so much--beautiful scenery, wildlife, first class service in carefully maintained vintage cars. I REALLY wanted to love this experience--in fact, I had been looking at it for a couple of years online and it was one reason behind our vacation this year.So... More

Taking the train from Williams to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is a good way to spend a day. Train ride was relaxing with interesting scenery. The Canyon is indescribably beautiful.

Scenic and slow enough to view the landscape and some wildlife. helpful guide on each rail car and entertaining musicians and Western characters. Met some nice fellow travelers and had a great time. Not quite enough time to see all we wanted to see of the closer areas of the South Rim of the Canyon. More

Great train trip, it was very scenic! Beautiful trees and weather was perfect! More
