While the folks at the Grand Canyon Railway are told by many that the train is “cool,” it is cooler than Phoenix. When temperatures are topping triple digits in Phoenix, Northern Arizona’s air temperatures can be 20 to 30 degrees cooler than in the “Valley of the Sun” down South. Williams is roughly 2.5 hours from Phoenix, and the Grand Canyon Railway runs daily to one of the most incredible sights and wonders of the natural world.
