Arrival and information

As the nearest town of any size to the
Grand Canyon
, seventy miles northwest, Flagstaff remains a major junction for road and rail passengers. Daily Amtrak
trains
heading both east and west pull in at the station in the very center of town, part of which doubles as a very helpful
visitor center
(Mon-Sat 7am-6pm, Sun 7am-5pm; tel 928/774-9541 or 1-800/842-7293,
). At the time of writing, the company that previously ran bus connections to the Grand Canyon ceased operations; contact the visitor center to see whether, as planned, they've arranged an alternative shuttle service. The least expensive
car rental
is Budget Rent-a-Car, 100 N Humphreys St (tel 928/779-0307); Avis, Hertz and National also have outlets. Other useful information
