Step aboard the Grand Canyon Railway for a trip to the majestic Grand Canyon you'll never forget. Feel the rumble of a vintage train as the engine chugs 65 miles across beautiful Northern Arizona countryside. The train offers kaleidoscopic views of the San Francisco Peaks and rolls through valleys adorned in wild flowers, dense pine forests, high desert plains and small canyons.

The excitement begins at the historic 1908 Williams Depot. Before the train departs you will be entertained at a Wild West shootout featuring the Cataract Creek Gang in an outdoor theatre. Visit the free railroad museum, shop in one of two gift shops, or enjoy a cup of fresh-brewed Starbucks coffee.

Then, hear the train whistle pierce the fresh morning air, beckoning passengers for a trip on the old iron horse to the Grand Canyon. A vintage steam engine pulls the train from Memorial Day through September 30. A vintage diesel engine does the job the remainder of the year. Uniformed coach attendants provide you with white-gloved courtesy and service. Aboard the train, enjoy the tunes of strolling musicians who conduct sing-a-longs, an Old West train robbery, and the antics of western characters as they recreate train travel as it was back in 1901.

The train arrives at the historic 1910 Grand Canyon Depot. It is the only remaining log depot still in operation in the United States. Buildings like the El Tovar Hotel, Hopi House, and Bright Angel Lodge salute arriving guests as they pull into the station and disembark from the train. A narrated motorcoach rim tour enhances your visit by escorting you to the most scenic overlooks of the Canyon. A packed lunch is included with the tour.

Sedona is recognized worldwide for the presence of powerful energy spots known as 'vortices'. The desire to explore the mystery and significance of these areas led to the birth of this tour - the original Vortex Tour.

What is a vortex? Where are they? Where do they come from? How can the energy be utilized in healing?

You'll explore these questions and more as this tour visits at least two of the four main Sedona vortices.

Follow this rough and rugged early stagecoach route along Schnebly Hill Road through Bear Wallow Canyon then high up onto the Mogollon Rim to enjoy stunning views of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, Carousel Rock, the fresh air of the world’s largest continuous stand of Ponderosa Pines.

On the longer, 3 hour tour, a 4x4 excursion along the scenic volcanic rim trail is included.

Please Note: upper portions of this trail may be closed in winter.
