Most people know that the National Park Service cares for national parks, a network of over 420 natural, cultural and recreational sites across the nation. The treasures in this system – the first of its kind in the world – have been set aside by the American people to preserve, protect, and share the legacies of this land. People from all around the world visit national parks to experience America's story, marvel at the natural wonders, and have fun. Places like the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, and Gettysburg are popular destinations, but so too are the hundreds of lesser known yet equally meaningful gems like Rosie the Riveter in California, Boston Harbor Islands in Massachusetts, and Russell Cave in Alabama. The American system of national parks was the first of its kind in the world, and provides a living model for other nations wishing to establish and manage their own protected areas. The park service actively consults with these Nations, sharing what we've learned, and gaining knowledge from the experience of others. Beyond national parks, the National Park Service helps communities across America preserve and enhance important local heritage and close-to-home recreational opportunities. Grants and assistance are offered to register, record and save historic places; create community parks and local recreation facilities; conserve rivers and streams, and develop trails and greenways.

Long before there were Grand Canyon helicopters, white water rafting companies or even Grand Canyon mule tours, there was the Grand Canyon Railway. Before paved roads, hotels and restaurants, and even before the Grand Canyon was made a national park or Arizona became a state, the Grand Canyon Railway brought interested travelers from all over the world to stand on the rim, gaze in awe upon the Canyon and ponder the feeling that touches all of humanity in a similar manner. Launching from the historic Williams Depot in Arizona, the Grand Canyon Railway carries tens of thousands of passengers into Grand Canyon National Park on its beautifully restored railway cars. The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel, designed to resemble the century-old train depot that housed the original Fray Marcos Hotel was opened by the Santa Fe Railroad as a Harvey House. It provides a relaxing retreat before and after an adventure to the South Rim. The Grand Canyon Railway offers vacation packages that include train travel, overnight accommodations at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel and Maswik Lodge North inside Grand Canyon National Park. In addition to many tours and featured packages the Railway offers the magical experience of The Polar Express, based on the classic children’s book. The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel also hosts a pet resort, RV park, Spenser’s Pub and the buffet-style Fred Harvey Restaurant. Shop for souvenirs, gifts and supplies from among the thousands of items in the depot’s two fine gift shops.
