Hop aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad for a 4-hour rail journey through the untouched and unspoiled Verde Valley. With first class seating, you will enjoy unobstructed views of Arizona’s geological wonders, wildlife, and archaeological finds of the ancient Sinagua people who once lived in the area. The Verde Canyon Railroad offers Starlight and Moonlight excursions on select Fridays and Saturdays May through September, departing the depot during the cooler temperatures of later afternoon and traveling through sunset and into the moon glow of twilight. Sandwiched between two protected national forests and adjacent to the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, Verde Canyon Railroad brings its passengers into a untamed and unspoiled terrain, the exceedingly rare ribbon where high desert meets the river.

  • Verde Canyon Railroad, Clarkdale, Arizona, United States
    Make your way to the Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot in Clarkdale, Arizona, not far from Sedona, to begin your Verde Canyon Railroad Starlight adventure. This rail adventure offers a wilderness train ride through the remote Verde Canyon which is known for its picturesque setting and abundant wildlife. Though it’s possible to hike in the canyon, by far the easiest way to experience it is by riding this scenic wilderness train. The train is made up of exquisitely-renovated passenger coaches and open-air viewing cars pulled by vintage locomotives and travels a route along the Verde River between Clarkdale and Perkinsville. After embarking from the Clarkdale depot, sit back for a 4-hour, 40-mile round trip that includes views of historic mining sites, geological wonders, Sinagua Indian cliff dwellings and wildlife from bald eagles to antelope.

Upon arrival they suggest you eat a burger before you board $20 for burger fries and soda. No indoor seating: so your out in the heat. ( August) parties of 4 sit in small couches with a shared coffee table and parties of two in more upright seats w table that has better view. Can bounce from inside car to outside and open car; liked how it wasn’t overly crowed and you had a specific outdoor car that was adjacent to your car to go to. Staff was great. Knowledgeable and friendly. Charcuterie box was ok. Not everyone had the same- one was missing salami. One was missing turkey. Some got pepperoni. Some didn’t. Strange. Bring snacks! Biggest complaint: the music was waaaaayyyy too loud and hard to have conversation. Yet the narration on speaker wasn’t loud enough!!! The twilight train was beautiful going the first two hours. It was just BLACK going back,(2hrs) and many passengers including myself napped.

The train ride was lovely. The cabins are comfy, they give you plenty of snacks, provide water and a champagne toast, and there is an optional bar. Our car's guide Romm was a wealth of knowledge and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to share his passion and information. We would highly recommend the starlight tour which gives you sunset views on the way in and starlight on the way back, truly the best of both worlds.
