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.

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.

Amazing train ride

5.00The train ride was amazing and we had a friendly, informative host on the outdoor car. We picked up breakfast with the voucher before the ride. The breakast sandwiches and burritos were huge. When we got to our train seats, we were provided a snack tray with cheese, meat, crackers and fruit. If we had known this tray would be waiting for us we probably would not have ate the breakfast. Champagne and bottled water was also provided. The bar drinks and sodas were affordable. The gift shop was not over-priced (pull over hoodie $35) . We did not bring jackets and it was a little cool on the outdoor car. Great time!!
