Amtrak Vacations
Grand Canyon to Sedona Adventure Roundtrip from Chicago
Roundtrip rail adventure from Chicago to the Grand Canyon and Sedona
Amtrak Vacations' Grand Canyon to Sedona Adventure Roundtrip from Chicago is an 8-day, 7-night rail package that starts aboard the Southwest Chief out of Chicago, with views from the train's Observation Car on the way to Williams, Arizona. After a night in Williams, described as the Gateway to the Grand Canyon, with breakfast at the Fred Harvey Restaurant, the Grand Canyon Railway carries travelers to the South Rim for an included sightseeing tour. From there, a transfer takes travelers to Sedona for an included tour of its red rock landscapes, followed by a night in Flagstaff that's left open to explore on your own, with the Lowell Observatory suggested for stargazing. The Southwest Chief then carries travelers back to Chicago's Union Station. The package covers 5 nights of hotel accommodations, 2 nights onboard Amtrak, and 1 breakfast. This suits travelers who want the Grand Canyon and Sedona covered by included touring, with one evening left for their own plans.
