Grand Canyon Native

Long before there were Grand Canyon helicopter tours, air tours, white water rafting tours, or even Grand Canyon mule tours, there was the Grand Canyon Railway. Before paved roads, Grand Canyon hotels and restaurants, and even before the canyon was made a national park or Arizona made a state, the Grand Canyon Railway brought interested travelers from all over the world to stand on the rim and ponder the feeling that touches all who gaze upon the canyon. Grand Canyon Railway was the lifeline to Grand Canyon National Park in the early 20th century. The railroad, along with the Fred Harvey Company, commissioned and built most of the historic structures that still exist at the Grand Canyon. The historic train almost faded into history itself when passenger service to Grand Canyon National Park stopped in 1968, and train travel gave way to the popularity of automobile travel. But like any legend it refused to die. As fate would have it, Grand Canyon Railway was reborn in 1989 when entrepreneurs Max & Thelma Biegert brought the Grand Canyon Railway back to life. Today, the railway carries more than 230,000 people to Grand Canyon National Park each year. The Railway also offers Grand Canyon vacations that include train travel, stays at Williams and Grand Canyon hotels, RV park stays and much more. Call us and plan a complete Grand Canyon vacation.
