If the time seems to be dragging on, look out your passenger window and visualize what hardships had to be endured 100 to 350 years ago for Coronado, Beale and those unnamed souls who tried to carve out trails and exist on such a harsh, unforgiving land. You may wonder what those individuals who saw the Grand Canyon for the first time must have thought. So if you're impatient to get to the Grand Canyon, remember that it took those early travelers weeks, months or even years, to cover the territory we cover in mere hours or a few days. The rewards of riding the Grand Canyon Railway include the nostalgia and romancing of the wild west. The hospitality of all the employees, the hostesses, engineers, conductors, balladeers, cowboys, and train robbers at the Williams Depot and the GCR was very welcomed.
All events have limited capacity.
Handicapped access to the train and rim tours is available but limited, please inquire. Williams , the Arizona gateway to the Grand Canyon, is easily accessible on interstate highways from the West's most popular cities.
