    Grand Canyon Trip : SERVING THE GRAND CANYON SINCE 1901

Grand Canyon Railway made its first journey to the Grand Canyon on September 17, 1901. Notable passengers to ride the Grand Canyon Railway include Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, William Howard Taft, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Clark Gable, Jimmy Durante, Doris Day, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates.

The Railroad was originally built to transport ore in the Wild West from the Anita mines, 45 miles north of Williams in the late 1800s. Prospectors flocked to Grand Canyon Country with dreams of riches. However, the area didn't supply enough ore to fulfill those dreams, and the railroad ran into financial trouble in 1899.

The Santa Fe Railway took over and completed the track to Grand Canyon in 1901. The company could make a return on its investment through tourism. The $3.95 train ride would replace the $15.00 eight-hour stagecoach ride from Flagstaff, allowing visitors to gaze upon what Teddy Roosevelt said "every American should see." The 65 miles of track the iron horse traveled became the lifeline to Grand Canyon.
