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.

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.

Beautiful scenery, great bartender in our rail car, but the experience was ruined by the noisy family across the aisle, whose teenagers talked loudly the whole time. Also the 20's something black curly haired dude near us who also blathered loudly in his lame attempt to impress the ladies near him, do those of us who pay big money for a scenic experience, either shut up, or stay home. Same for the family across from us. You all made so much noise we couldn't understand most of the recorded narration on the train speakers.

Trip was great. It did someone's get a little warm as the day got hurt outside. Didn't help if you go in July like we did but it wasn't too bad. Stayed of with the complimentary breakfast and drink. Also received a small tray of pastries and fruit. The bar was also great to have. Also available to walk to an outside can to be outside while the train was moving. It was a good time with me and the misses. I would recommend it to anyone that hasn't gone.
