Overall Ratings

Since 1901, the Grand Canyon Railway and Hotel has been taking passengers on a fabled journey to the heart of one of the seven wonders of the world. Grand Canyon Railway is more than just a mode of transportation: it’s a trip back in time on lovingly restored rail cars with entertaining musicians and the antics of cowboy characters. Out your window, the terrain changes from high desert to prairie, prairie to pine. It’s a view that’s ever-changing until you come across a view so brilliant, it could very well change you. All aboard to the Grand Canyon to make a grand trip grander!

Reviewed By jezzeetoms - Ferndale, United States
Took a day trip to the Grand Canyon from Sedona. Most of the restaurants around the Grand Canyon are chain or aren't the most highly recommended. After learning about Grand Canyon Brewing Company, we drove about an hour after leaving the GC and stopped in for lunch. Really glad we did! Both the beer and food were good! It is also a really cute atmosphere! Very close to Historic Route 66. Will stop in again next time we are close by!
