Easiest way to get to the Grand Canyon. Allowed us to relax and see the scenery and not haul our luggage around. We rode in Coach, others of our group were in First Class. Coach was comfortable, air conditioned, a good value and still allowed access to food and drink. You just had to go get it. Hotel/Train staff handled the luggage on both ends of the trip from the lobby of the hotel to room at the El Tovar and then in reverse on the return trip.
