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.

Relaxing trip, scenic views ,great guide on outside train car. I wish the volume was a bit louder since group behind us kept talking. We couldn’t hear the recording between songs in the inside car. Liesl the bartender and attendant was wonderful.

Cool experience. Train cars have comfortable seating and each one has its own bar and bathroom. You pay for tour drinks besides the champagne/cider you get when you first get going. Our attendant in our car was great. Each person gets their own individual charcuterie board which is more than enough for two people and is very good. It is a neat ride and you learn a lot about the area as you ride. It's a little slow moving but relaxing. You can go out on the covered open air cars to see the natural beauty up close.
