Take A Spring Break From The Crowds At Grand Canyon
When Easter Comes Early, The Weeks Between It And Memorial Day Are The Best Time To Visit
Tricks of the trade. Every industry has them. At Grand Canyon National Park and on Grand Canyon Railway, one of those “in-the-know” tricks is that, when Easter comes early, there is a magical lull between the early school spring breaks and the summer surge in visitors. The train and national park are easy to access, hassle-free, and lack the crowds of peak travel season.
It's the ideal time to get outdoors, trade in binge-TV for a view that will leave you exhilarated, take a pass on the trip to the mall and take a trip on a train with dome cars (sometimes pulled by a steam engine) and create some everlasting memories (selfies and Snapchat posts) on the world's most breathtaking stage - Grand Canyon.
Another key benefit during this time of the year is that kids can ride round-trip on the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams to the South Rim (as in steps from the rim) for a mere $32. The 1923 Pullman Car offers the most economical way to hop on board the train to the Grand Canyon. The NPS entry fee is included and taking the Train helps keep over 70,000 cars out of the park, which is good for the environment.
