"Fantastic trip! The narration and music were excellent. Food and beverage were fresh and well prepared. The staff was friendly, courteous and kind. I was part of a tour that rode several other trains and this was by far the most memorable." -John Sunderson, Anaheim, CA |

The Verde Canyon Railroad is often referred to as the finest train ride in Arizona and acclaimed as Arizona’s longest-running nature show. The remote wilderness of the Verde Canyon, located west of Sedona and below Jerome, is renowned for its towering red rock pinnacles and clean, green waters. The train rolls past Indian ruins, through a 680-foot man-made tunnel, over old-fashioned trestles and under clear azure skies. This picturesque setting is further enhanced by the variety of indigenous flora and fauna and the many migrating waterfowl. Over thirty bald and golden eagles winter in this riparian respite each year.Passengers enjoy this four-hour scenic train ride in first-class style aboard renovated passenger coaches and open-air viewing cars pulled by vintage locomotives. The Verde Canyon is often called 'Arizona’s other Grand Canyon' with spectacular canyon scenery on a train trip that offers visual feasts including seasonal spring flowers, fall foliage and hundreds of migratory birds, such as the majestic bald eagle.

If I were Queen of Arizona…I’d encourage everyone to take a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad out of Clarkdale. It offers one of the most beautiful views of Arizona you’ll ever see. Take a picnic or splurge for first-class cars with appetizers and drinks. However you go, this four-hour train ride takes you through a piece of “natural Arizona” that will take your breath away. Besides, the crew is a delight and will help make your trip extra special.
