Loved Grand Canyon & Grand Canyon Railway

Just returned from our family trip to Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Took the Grand Canyon Railway trip through AAA and loved it ! Grand Canyon Railway hotel was much nicer than I thought (after reading some reviews). The room was plenty big enough for the 4 of us. The food, on the other hand, had alot to be desired at Max & Thelma’s. The dinner buffet was horrible but breakfast was much better. The train ride was great (with entertainment on the way) and once at the canyon, you just couldn’t believe your eyes. Words cannot describe the beauty of this National Park. We had some sun the first day which casted amazing shadows on the peaks. The second day we had rain and hail and COLD! But that’s the nature of the park, I guess. We took the shuttle bus all around to see the points of interest and ventured out a bit on our own to see the sun rise. We stayed at Maswick lodge which again, was much better than I had expected (since I believe it’s the lowest priced accommodations). We had a view out into the woods and at night you could hear the elk walking around and snorting outside !!! We had a prepaid buffett lunch at the Maswick and after that we didn’t eat there again. It was lousy. If you don’t have much time, I would highly recommend the Railway Trip. You get all the highlights in a short amount of time and it’s alot of fun.

Bottom line - Grand Canyon National Park is beautiful; a natural wonder and a must see for everyone.
