We could have easily made the drive from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon in a shorter amount of time, but since we were on vacation, we decided to splurge and take the train up to the canyon. We had seats in First Class and before we left town, there was show with gunslingers that was cute. Once on the train, we had an attendant who told us all kinds of interesting bits of trivia as we made our way up to the canyon. It is a slow moving train, but with refreshments and wandering musical entertainers, the trip went by quickly. We also took a bus tour at the canyon, because there is so much to see and the free trams were crowded. After the bus tour, we had to walk around, see the hotels, gifts shops and some other vistas. We got back on the train for the trip back to Williams and train robbers went through the train! Everyone loved it. It was a bit pricey, but I had a Senior Pass for the entry fee and we were able to use our AAA card for another discount. Check this out!
