Dress for a river trip. Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a light rain jacket, a water bottle, tennis shoes or secure sandals, and layered clothing are recommended. All participants ride a restored 1923 Pullman car to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Relax and enjoy the view as the historic railroad car winds through the pi on, juniper and sagebrush to the Grand Canyon. At the end of the tour you will have about 1- hours of free time before boarding the train back to Williams.
Tour includes a box lunch.
Though this hike will not get you close to the Colorado River, you will get a feeling for the magnitude of the Canyon by dropping below the rim. Depending on the group, you may go from one to three miles each way. Plan on a strenuous hike and bring sturdy running shoes or lightweight hiking boots, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and at least one-liter of water. Tour includes a box lunch. Explore mountain meadows, aspen groves, and a globally rare willow community at The Nature Conservancy's Hart Prairie Preserve .
