Amtrak Vacations
Grand Canyon Rail Getaway from Flagstaff
Short Grand Canyon rail and motorcoach getaway from Flagstaff
Amtrak Vacations' Grand Canyon Rail Getaway from Flagstaff is a short, 3-day, 2-night trip built around a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway. The train travels through ponderosa forest on its way to the Canyon's South Rim, a scenic stretch that sets up the rest of the visit. Once there, a fully-guided motorcoach tour takes over, covering both the South and East rims with a guide who shares stories, jokes, and facts about the canyon and the surrounding area. The package itself covers 2 nights of hotel accommodations and the Grand Canyon Railway Excursion; the rail journey to reach Flagstaff is booked and priced separately, in Coach, Roomette, or Bedroom accommodations depending on your home station. This suits travelers who want the rim touring handled by a guide while keeping the getaway itself short, at 3 days from $759 per person.
