Grand Canyon Railroad

Grand Canyon Railroad makes it easy to plan a trip by offering a variety of packages at different price points.

If you only have a short while to spend, you can go up and back to the Grand Canyon on the railroad in a day and still have time to explore the South Rim, take a brief coach tour, and eat lunch before returning to Williams.

The Grand Canyon Railroad offers five classes of service. From the cheapest to the most expensive, they are:

  • Coach class - seating in a restored 1923 Pullman car
  • Club class - seating in a restored 1923 Pullman car with fully stocked bar
  • First class - reclining seats with large viewing windows
  • Dome car - seating in first-class cars with dome windows overhead for the best views
  • Parlor car - seating in comfortable club chairs, car attendant, free snacks and champagne, and an open-air rear platform
One-, two-, and three-night packages that include lodging, meals, and transportation are available. Package prices are highest March 11 through October and lowest in January through March 10.

It is advisable to make reservations for any Grand Canyon Railroad trip in advance. Reservations can be booked online.
