This was the trip of a lifetime for our family. My niece, her husband and their 8 yr old and 18 month old daughters took the first class train ride round trip for a day of exploring the Canyon. While COVID restrictions make everything more difficult and many of the venues were closed or so crowded that one waited hours to get into a gift shop or order take out ice cream/food, the folks who run the train did a spectacular job making this the best day ever. Christina, our attendant in the first class Arizona car was a huge help with the baby, engaging with her when cranky, arranging for the entertainers to stop at our section to entertain her, etc. She even served them a small cup of whipped cream to make them smile. You cant go wrong by taking the train. We saw elk, prairie dogs and lots of free range cattle as well as spectacular scenery along the way.
