We loved this train adventure even more than we anticipated. We booked the trip because we thought our girls (8 and 10) would enjoy the train ride and also because we wanted a break from having to drive in/out of parks. In the end, it was so much more for all of us. Our guide Mercedes was energetic and informative, the scenery was beautiful, and we saw elk and some other wildlife. Our girls really enjoyed the train "robbery" and loved grabbing a snack in the cafe car. I didn't have a lot of time to research Grand Canyon National Park before we arrived so I really appreciated Mercedes' tips and recommendations. Without them, I wouldn't have known what was possible to accomplish in our three-hour visit. We all had a wonderful day and would recommend this to family and friends who visit the area. Thanks for a fun day!
