Enjoy a thrilling journey on the Verde Canyon Railroad departing from Clarkdale, Arizona. Wind your way through a red rock paradise, with tracks that hug the curves of the Verde River, first built in 1912.

Relax in spacious living room-style seating near panoramic windows. Individually packaged, freshly made snacks of meats, cheeses, fruits, and brownie bites are served at your seats. Full bar service is available in every car. Stroll around the train to open-air viewing platforms.

Take in astonishing views of a wild and vibrant frontier, historic trestles, bridges, and a 7,000-foot tunnel. See nature tucked into unusual rock formations, red rock pinnacles, and towering crimson cliffs.

Look up to see bald eagles and hawks float effortlessly on the breeze above. Keep an eye open for javelina, wild burros, jackrabbits, and many other canyon creatures who have been peacefully coexisting with this heritage railroad for more than 100 years.

Arrive at the secluded former settlement of Perkinsville, before turning around and heading back to Clarkdale.
