Amtrak Vacations
Grand Canyon Extended Getaway
Five-day Grand Canyon rail getaway from Williams, Arizona
Amtrak Vacations operates the Grand Canyon Extended Getaway as a five-day, four-night package centered on Williams, Arizona, and Grand Canyon National Park. Williams is a Route 66 town known for one of the largest ponderosa pine forests in the world, and it is also the starting point for the Grand Canyon Railway, which the package includes as a roundtrip ride in Coach accommodations to the canyon's South Rim. Once there, the included Grand Canyon Freedom Tour covers the South Rim's viewpoints. The price covers 4 nights of hotel accommodations, the Grand Canyon Railway ride, the Freedom Tour, and 2 meals, while Amtrak travel to and from Williams itself is priced separately by accommodation level. This suits travelers who already have a way to reach Williams, Arizona, and want the Grand Canyon portion of the trip, including the train ride and hotel nights, bundled into one package.
