CNN just published an article about the Grand Canyon Railway and how it is a wonderful experience for families. The article notes that the train, besides being a good history lesson, is also good for the environment. It carries more than 225,000 passengers a year, reducing auto traffic to the South Rim by 10 percent. Instead of steam locomotives, cleaner and more efficient diesel locomotives are used.
If you are interested in longer train trips of the National Parks, we offer several itineraries to choose from. There are also several trips planned especially for families, as well as driving vacations through the National Parks. Please visit our National Parks website for more information.
