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 train trip was very enjoyable. Our seats were next to a big picture window that allowed us great views the entire trip. Our railcar hostess was very knowledgeable and friendly. The open air car host had many interesting facts and stories to share. The snacks were an unexpected surprise. We had a great time!

Julie, we're delighted we were a hit! Thanks for riding with us and sharing these kind words about the scenery, the charcuterie and our crew.

We absolutely loved this experience. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. Approx. every third car is an open car with a tour guide to answer questions and point out sights. The open cars also allow for great pictures. The website photos don't do the canyon justice.

Thanks for riding with us and recommending us. You're right. It's challenging to capture in a photo the enormity of the trip's majestic scenery.
