...a pleasant train ride to/from the Grand Canyon.
A cheesy gunfight show before departing, and a cheesy robbery on the return is fun if you have kids in tow. We enjoyed the comfort of the luxury dome car, but the other cars looked fine, especially if you have kids or need to save a little money.
Even though the trip is slow and methodical, it was a nice break from driving. The 3 hours spent at GCNP was just the right amount of time for us on a hot, sunny day. If we had more time, we probably would have just spent it sitting in the El Tovar bar anyway as our feet were worn out.
