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.

Yesterday afternoon we boarded the train that goes through the canyon. The views were phenomenal! We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon! We were taken care of by Erica and Devin...who made sure we had anything and everything we needed to have a wonderful trip! I will be back with my brother the next time he visits!!

Right from the start the train station was very clean and neat and orderly. The train ran on time! The open air car was awesome. They have one in between each Pullman inside car. The wine and cheese was great. Service was great. Christian was our narrator on our trip in the open car who explained a lot about what we were seeing. Scenery was awesome!

It was a really good experience. Don't eat beforehand. Train cars are super comfortable and the prices for snacks and beverages are quite reasonable. Outside car has a person that talks, guides, and shows you different things along the way. He was super knowledgeable and able to answer any questions you might have.
