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.

5.00Did the Verde Canyon train ride and really enjoyed it. The views were beautiful, red rocks, river, and scenery you can’t see from the road. Super relaxing experience with comfy seating, snacks, and friendly staff. The open air car was my favorite part. Definitely worth it if you’re near Sedona and want something easy and scenic.

4.00Great trip. Great guys on the cars with info. I did not like having to pay for a meal. That should be optional. We waited in line for 30 minutes after the ride for our lunch. I would rather pay $169 with no meal provided. You are forcing passengers to have the meal to get their moneys worth. I’m sure some skip the meal and that’s pure profit for you. That’s wrong.
Great train ride

5.00Great experience on the adventure package 3.5 hour tour. Well managed by the railroad staff. Great food, they made a special wrap for me being vegan. No issues. Staff very friendly. Train was immaculate. The four of us had two couches facing each other. Appetizers ready when seated along with champagne and water. Bartender was very good on our train car and excellent narrator for exterior. Fun for us all. met many people and everyone was friendly, sitting in various seats for good views. Would do again with other guests.
