Drove up from Phoenix, had enjoyable stay in the GC Hotel and then a great train ride to the canyon. It was a very relaxing and fun way to visit with friends, meet a few new fellow travelers, have a couple of drinks, walk and tour parts of the canyon. Great views and fun on the train. The robbery may be "hokey" for some, but if you want to have fun and interact, the "robbers" were very humorous and fun loving. The conductors provided information and drew attention to various views with out over doing. Hotel was very nice and adequate for the one night stay. Bar and restaurant were very good - better than expected. Great way to enjoy the Grand Canyon.
