Canyon Coaster Park: Riding the Pines at Williams
An alpine mountain coaster at the edge of Williams sends riders down a steel track through the ponderosa pines, with the throttle in your own hands.
Canyon Coaster Park sits alongside the Route 66 corridor at the edge of Williams, where a steel alpine coaster winds down a forested slope through the pines. Riders control their own speed with a hand brake, so the ride can be a gentle cruise or a fast downhill run.
What to Know
- A mountain coaster where riders control their own speed
- Rides wind down a forested slope through the pines
- Located on the Route 66 corridor near Bearizona
The coaster is a popular add-on for families and groups traveling the Northern Arizona circuit, particularly those stopping at nearby Bearizona or heading up the road to the Grand Canyon.
Because the track winds through the forest rather than crossing open ground, the ride stays shaded on warm afternoons and feels very much like part of the mountain country around it.
