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.

5.00Extremely well organized, too(?) much food? The food voucher was fine but when we got on the train there was a complete charcuterie plate on board. If we had known that we wouldn’t have eaten so much. The chairs on the train we amazing. Can’t recommend this trip enough.
Climb aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad for a fun and educational experience!

5.00The train staff were wonderful, friendly, and were full of fun and arcane facts about the train, the canyon, and the surrounding towns. It is wise to book well in advance to secure the date that you want during the summer months.
