Randy Travis sings about how love should be. But, where else can you show your Valentine these depths of your love so well? After all, we have the best holler right next door. A “holler” aka hollow is a small rising valley region between two hills or mountains; often containing a creek. How about a lovers rendezvous at the Grand Canyon? You can profess your love on Valentines Day, “My love is deeper than the Canyon”. Ride in style on the Grand Canyon Railway and gaze at all the beautiful scenery going by while you enjoy snacks and beverages. If you really want to impress that someone special, book tickets for the Observation 
Dome. This is an unforgettable experience, thanks to a glass-enclosed streamliner that offers panoramic views of the surrounding scenery. Glide through the changing landscape in the comfort of padded high-back chairs from high above the train. Fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, and juice are provided during the morning, while snacks are available on the way back with a sparkling white wine toast, included in the ticket price.A Beer, wine, and mixed drinks are also available for purchase at the bar inside each car. Children ages 2 and under are not permitted.
Dinner with your Valentine is something special when you make reservations for the El Tovar. Jackets are not required but dress appropriately for fine dining. Guests and/or visitors not staying in the hotel can make a Dinner reservation 30 days in advance. Please call 928-638-2631, ext. 6432 or email gcsrdining@xanterra.com . The menu can be viewed online.
Taking a stroll around the Grand Canyon is so much better than anywhere else. You have to experience it to understand. Every view is breathtaking. This is where you turn to your Valentine, gaze into each other’s eyes and say …”There is no better way to end a day than enjoying the most magnificent view God created, oh and the Grand Canyon is really special too.”
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin’ tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
And longer than the song of the whippoorwill
