This beautiful train ride starts in Williams, AZ (about an hour south of the Best Western). It is a 2 hour and 15 minute ride to the canyon. You are there for 3 hours to explore and see the scenic areas. Afterwards, you would ride back to Williams. You can purchase a one way ticket if that is best for you. They do not have spots along the route to hop on the train. It goes from Williams to the Grand Canyon and back to Williams. There isn’t a group rate, but buying tickets together does guarantee your seats will be together. I hope this helps!
