Today is the first day of National Park Week, and every day this week, we’re going to highlight one of the ways that Huckleberry Travel can help you experience the incredible wildlife, scenery and natural history of our National Parks! So, for Day 1, let’s talk about the Grand Canyon Railway!

The Grand Canyon Railway is one of Huckleberry Travel’s preferred providers, and it’s a terrific (and sustainable) way to experience one of the most incredible National Parks in the system!

Your journey starts in Williams, Arizona, where you can stay at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel — the most convenient jumping-off point for your rail adventure. While there, you can dine at the Fred Harvey Restaurant, made famous by the classic MGM Musical, “The Harvey Girls.”

Then you board the train for the Grand Canyon, and that’s when the fun really gets going! Since 1901, the Grand Canyon Railway has been taking passengers on a fabled journey to the heart of the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon Railway is more than just a mode of transportation—it’s a trip back in time on lovingly restored rail cars with entertaining musicians and the antics of cowboy characters. Out your window, the terrain changes from high desert to prairie, prairie to pine. It’s a view that’s ever-changing until you come across a view so brilliant, it could very well change you.

So what do you think? Want to visit the Grand Canyon by rail? We can make that happen for you!
