What To Expect

Verde Canyon Railroad

It’s not the destination, it’s the journey! Enjoy a luxurious train ride through a 20-mile wilderness area, along a wild and scenic river, only accessible by rail. For 3.5-hours, enjoy comfort and style, exceptional amenities and outstanding service in vintage rail cars on a century-old route. Wind your way through a red rock paradise, with tracks that hug the curves of the Verde River. Every season offers a different reason to ride! Astonishing views of a wild and vibrant frontier, historic trestles, bridges and a 7000-foot tunnel are just a few of the highlights tucked into unusual rock formations, red rock pinnacles and towering crimson cliffs. Majestic bald eagles and hawks float effortlessly on the breeze above Javelina, wild burros, jackrabbits and many other Canyon creatures, peacefully coexisting with this heritage railroad for more than 100 years.

Verde Canyon Railroad

At the depot, be sure to visit the John Bell Museum, home to the railroad's history and artifacts from its early days, as well as a wealth of information on Clarkdale, Jerome and the Yavapai-Apache Nation.

The staff was amazing. We were in the cottonwood car. Our bar tender was Erica and our safety officer was Christian. The assistance they provided for me was exceptional. They had many many mobility impaired people on this particular day and everyone was afforded the utmost care. We received a champagne split toast as well as bottled water and a snack pack for the trip. It ran under the 4 hours stated but was still an exceptional day.

It’s a calm train ride and there are opportunities to go outside to enjoy the view. They provided lunch to get at the cafe before boarding and a charcuterie board that was great. My aunt and I enjoyed the experience and the family time. Please turn off the sound system when safety information is being presented.
