Stop At: 300 N Broadway Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot, Clarkdale, AZ 86324-2302

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.

A total ripoff. Completely boring ride. You get to see an ugly slag pile. But the rest of the trip is an unchanging view through scrubland. Once you get to the end of the line, the train gets turned around. There is no platform, and you may not get off. Another boring ride on the way back. Now if at least the staff were lovely, that might make up for it. But the staff are instructed to not be nice to customers. You are prohibited from bringing any lunch onboard. Even worse, you are prohibited from waling up and down the train. I am not joking. A horrible experience. The people who seem to be enjoying it are ones who spend their time ordering drinks from the bartender. That's not what I do, so I have no comments for those folks. There are, by contrast, wonderful scenic railways. I would recommend the Durango/Silverton line. I thoroughly enjoyed that one.

We were really impressed with the value of the snacks/toast and cafe voucher included, it was a lot of food! The scenery in Verde Canyon is beautiful. The train ride itself was quite long, so I recommend if you really love trains. The bartender lost his voice yelling over a rowdy group, it seemed like usually they give more information. They also said they're planning to provide headsets in the future so you can listen to the information if you want. This would be really good since we could hardly hear over the noisy groups in our traincar

The views of the canyon were incredible. The service at the station and on the train as well as the food and snacks were great. I was a bit disappointed in the length of the trip. It was long. I was expecting them to come back quicker but they did not. It got very hot in the car and pretty miserable. I can’t imagine doing the ride in the summer.

We loved our train trip. It was very scenic and informative. The staff on board were great. Seeing this part of Arizona was a real treat and the journey made you fit back and relax!! Having a bar in every car was a nice addition!!
