Take your family travels to the next level with The Grand Canyon Railway. Everyone hopping on Grand Canyon Railway talks about how cool the train is, but what they forget to mention is how much cooler (temperature wise) it is than Phoenix. While temperatures reach more than 115 degrees in Phoenix, northern Arizona’s air temperatures can be around 30 degrees cooler than the Valley of the Sun. Williams, where the Grand Canyon Railway is located, lies only 2.5 hours from Phoenix and offers some of the greatest sights and wonders of the natural world.

Families can enhance their Grand Canyon experience with an entertaining train ride featuring western musicians and cowboy characters on vintage rail cars. Plan your whole family vacation around the train ride and stay at Grand Canyon Railway Hotel inside Grand Canyon National Park.
This summer, Grand Canyon Railway offers guests a chance to beat the Arizona heat with a popular offer. With the summer getaway package, guests can save up to 30 percent off the train fare with the Summer Getaway one- or two-night stays.
