I Took the Historic Train to the Grand Canyon – Here’s What Happened

Thanks to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/THROUGHMYLENS to get your free sample pack with any purchase.

In this video, I’m taking one of the most historic train rides in America — the Grand Canyon Railway, a vintage journey that still runs from Williams, Arizona straight to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

This line first opened in 1901, and over a century later, it still feels like stepping back in time. Along the way, we’ll ride through high desert and pine forest, meet some of the characters who keep the Wild West spirit alive, and see what makes this classic route one of the most unique ways to reach the canyon.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to travel to the Grand Canyon by train, or if the Grand Canyon Railway is worth it, this video gives you the full experience — from the cowboy show before departure to the final stop at the rim itself.
