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.

5.00I discovered this experience through TikTok, and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a delicious meal (we ordered a bacon cheeseburger & fries) before your adventure begins, followed by a champagne toast and a charcuterie board with breathtaking views, this experience is for you! There is also an option to purchase additional beverages, such as cocktails and water, during the ride. Dawn was our assigned bartender, and she was terrific. She gave us details as our adventure began and took our drink orders. After we got our drinks, we headed outside for some spectacular views. Christian was our live narrator, and he gave us a heads up when to get those picture-perfect moments throughout the adventure. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time! I can't speak highly enough about Dawn and Christian. Thank you both for a superb experience!!!
Fantastic

We had a delicious appetizer box and a nice champagne toast! Definitely sign up for this trip! We also had lunch included in the fare, so get to the station an hour early!
