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.

5.00Worth it. It is not a loop so the second half is a little Boring, but generally scene is beautiful and unique.

5.00This is a great way to spend an afternoon with family and/or friends! The train takes you through the Verde Canyon and shows you the spectacular red rock formations that the Sedona area is known for. Michelle and Christian were great hosts (Michelle was the server in the Prescott car and Christian gave us a cool history lesson at the turnaround point). Definitely a fun day!
Awesome trip

5.00The Verde Canyon train was an amazing experience. We had a very good and filling lunch at the train depot followed by a cheese, meat and fruit tray once on board. Our car was dated back to the 1940s but in good, clean shape. The views deep inside the canyon were fantastic. Our “Flagstaff” car steward was very informative, friendly and a great bartender. This is a must do tour!
