Amtrak Vacations
Grand Canyon Getaway
Short Grand Canyon rail getaway from Williams, Arizona
Amtrak Vacations operates the Grand Canyon Getaway as a four-day, three-night package centered on Williams, Arizona, and Grand Canyon National Park. Williams is a town along historic Route 66, and it is the starting point for the Grand Canyon Railway, which the package includes as a roundtrip ride in Coach accommodations through a stretch of ponderosa pine forest to the canyon's South Rim. At the South Rim, the included Grand Canyon Freedom Tour covers the park's viewpoints. The price covers 3 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 their own way to reach Williams and want a short, focused Grand Canyon trip bundled with the train ride and hotel nights.
