Itinerary
Detailed day by day information

Williams
In this package, show up to Williams the night before your train trip. Check in to the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel after 3:00 p.m., which is located across from the train depot. The facility is a three-star hotel owned and operated by the Railway featuring an indoor pool and spa, workout room, and Spenser's Lounge, which has a 19th-century mahogany bar with a storied history. Note: every room has two queen size beds and can accommodate up to 5 people per room.

Enjoy a complimentary dinner for your entire party at Max & Thelma's Restaurant as you spend your evening in rustic Williams. Take a stroll down Route 66, just two blocks south of the depot. At 6,800 feet elevation, you can enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Williams to Grand Canyon
Enjoy a buffet style breakfast at Max & Thelma's Restaurant. Keep your eyes open because the Cataract Creek Gang has been known to frequent the restaurant in the morning. After breakfast, it's time for an old-fashioned showdown between the same Cataract Creek Gang and the Marshal. Be sure to check out the entertainment west of the train depot.

All aboard as the train departs Williams for the Grand Canyon! You'll travel the same 65-mile rail line that passengers first traversed more than a century ago. Enjoy the scenery as the elevation changes during the 2 hour and 15 minute trip. Arrive at the South Rim.

Once you de-board, you'll have the option of taking a scenic motorcoach rim tour that includes lunch [Click here for more details]. If you opt not to take a rim tour, you have over three hours to explore historic Grand Canyon Village. Most of the buildings that grace the South Rim were built by the railroad, including the El Tovar Hotel, built in 1905. Along the rim, you'll find historic sites, places to eat and shop, and of course, some of the most breathtaking views you'll ever see.

Grand Canyon Railway departs the Grand Canyon Depot on its way back to Williams. Relax in the comfort of your train car after seeing the Grand Canyon. The train pulls back into Williams; you'll then have your second dinner at Max & Thelma's, a short distance from the train platform. Adjourn for the evening in the comforts of the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel.

Williams
Enjoy breakfast at Max & Thelma's the next morning, then it's off to your next destination. This concludes the Railway Getaway Plus package.
