Amtrak Vacations
Grand Canyon Getaway Roundtrip from Philadelphia
Roundtrip rail getaway from Philadelphia to the Grand Canyon
Amtrak Vacations operates this eight-day, seven-night Grand Canyon Getaway as a roundtrip rail journey starting and ending in Philadelphia. The route runs on the Northeast Regional to Washington, DC, then the Capitol Limited to Chicago, before the Southwest Chief carries travelers on to Williams, Arizona, known as the gateway to the Grand Canyon. From Williams, the historic Grand Canyon Railway crosses expanses of Arizona high country to the South Rim. The package covers 3 nights of hotel accommodations, the Grand Canyon Freedom Tour, and 2 meals, 1 breakfast and 1 dinner, with 4 nights spent roundtrip onboard Amtrak itself. Because the connecting trains, hotel nights, and one guided tour are bundled into a single price, this suits travelers who want to see the second most-visited national park in the country without planning each connection on their own.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.
