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.

This was a wonderful trip! A must do for anyone visiting Sedona. Our outside guide, EC, was very knowledgeable and informative. We learned a lot from him. PRO TIP: Plan to spend most of the ride on the outside car where the guide can tell you information and you can see the sites better. Consider taking a battery charger for your cell phone because many passengers were out of charge from taking many pictures of the beautiful scenery. Kerry, our bar tender, was very friendly and informative. PRO TIP: When making reservations ask for a table on the right side of the train for a better view.

Them scenery was great. However, it did not change much and the way back along the same route tended to be too long. The snacks were very good mas well as the lunch. We had excellent seats and on the side of the train that had the best view.
