Cool Arizona Places: Verde Canyon Railroad

As “hot” (OK, warm, or whatever you call 90 degrees Fahrenheit in February) as the Valley of the Sun has been (and is going to be) are you thinking about going to the northern part of the state this weekend?  There is a great attraction you may want to check out. Consider the Verde Canyon Railroad.

One of their marketing slogans is; Take a ride on Arizona’s longest-running nature show.

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. A ride on the historic Verde Canyon Railroad route from Clarkdale to the ghost ranch of Perkinsville and back into the OTHER grand canyon in Arizona is an unforgettable experience.

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.

From the moment you step foot on one of our meticulously refurbished train cars you and your family will feel like you've been transported to a simpler, more leisurely time before all the distractions and annoyances of our modern world. Breathe deep, order a drink and relax as you glide along on a 20 mile journey through 100 years of history while still enjoying modern creature comforts like climate control, comfortable seating and thoughtful decor.

As if their daily trips up the Canyon weren't fun enough, their special events really make for an experience your friends and family won't soon forget. In fact, their events sell out regularly and many of their guests are return visitors from all over the world. After you experience one of the Verde Canyon's incredible events first hand you'll wonder why you ever settled for a chocolate, wine or a beer festival on solid ground! Don't miss out on the fun, check out their events page today!

Simply put, Verde Canyon gives you an exclusive look at what Sedona and the Verde Valley would have looked like before all the people, construction, and traffic got in the way of the beauty. Watch from your window or the open air viewing cars as bald eagles, blue heron, and some of seventy-four other species of animals that fly, swim, and interact in the picturesque setting they occupied for many thousands of years.

Their classic FP7 locomotives, 2 of only 10 still in existence today, pull you along a red rock valley teaming with wildlife that is so picturesque and verdant, it's no wonder they call it Verde Canyon.
