Grand Canyon Getaway Roundtrip from Dallas, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations operates this nine-day, eight-night Grand Canyon Getaway as a roundtrip rail journey starting and ending in Dallas. The route connects the Texas Eagle and the Missouri River Runner with the Southwest Chief, passing the Great Lakes and crossing the Great Plains before reaching Williams, Arizona, then continues on the Grand Canyon Railway to the South Rim. Once there, the included Grand Canyon Freedom Tour covers the canyon on a guided tour. The package covers 4 nights of hotel accommodations, 3 nights spent onboard Amtrak, the Freedom Tour, and 2 meals, 1 breakfast and 1 dinner, with everything else left for travelers to arrange themselves. Because the connecting trains, hotel nights, and one guided tour are bundled into a single price, this suits travelers who want a cross-country rail trip to a major national park without planning each connection on their own.
