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.

What a great way to spend the afternoon in the cool, comfortable train after spending a few days hiking in the area. It's a good opportunity to just rest with the beautiful country-side going by. Easy to find. Easy to park. Accommodates wheelchairs. The trip includes a glass of champagne to celebrate and small plates with crackers, cheese, meats and a brownie. Other drinks are available and you can bring food on board from the deli at the train station. Rolling hills, Sedona-like rocks, valleys, creeks, and lots of open space to see. We enjoyed it!

It was ok. Not bad not great. A little long of a ride, not back to the station till 5 pm. The train was nice, the seats were comfortable and the cars were nicely air conditioned. Wish the windows were bigger for a better view.

This train ride experience was amazing! You get a free lunch voucher with the purchase of the train ticket, but get there an hour early to eat before the ride. Our bartender/host was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and entertaining for the entire trip. Oh and the views of the canyon were great of course!
