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.

John Bell Railroad Museum

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.

Verde River

The train runs on the same tracks that were created following the Verde River back in 1911. The river is visible for most of your journey.

My family, consisting of me, husband, sister-in-law, daughter , her husband and 2 children took the ride. It was very nice. They made sure our large group got to sit together. The food, appetizers, served on the train was very good. The scenery was beautiful.

A 20 mile railroad trip that for me could have gone on all day. We chose first class & enjoyed nice comfy seats plus complimentary appetizers & access to an open car...to some it was too hot to be in the open car but we are from Mississippi & the heat did not bother us. Beautiful scenery & guide on open car to give us information on the area. I absolutely loved the ride & will go again if we are ever back in the area.

Unfortunately on 2 hour trip back the air conditioning stopped working at 3-5pm on an extremely hot afternoon.
