All a board in the Town of Clarkdale, a historic company owned mining town. This is where we will board the Verde Canyon Railroad for a stress-free wilderness adventure featuring an abundance of native, flora and fauna; rugged, high-desert rock faces and spectacular vistas. This unique view of the canyon is accessible only by rail. The train passes towering, crimson pinnacles; near ancient Indian ruins; over fortified trestles; past a monocline fault and through a manmade, 680-foot tunnel on a four-hour rail journey from the old mining town to Clarkdale to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back. This historic route-between two national forests and adjacent to a national wilderness area-follows the upper Verde River, a lush riparian habitat blessed with astonishing beauty. Expert narration and open-air car attendants leave you with an appreciation of the history, archaeology, geology, wildlife and Indian lore of the Verde Canyon. Original music is an integral part of the trip as you make your way through Arizona’s longest-running nature show….railroad style.
