Verde Canyon Railroad Tour | Sedona

Travel Back in Time in the Verde Valley…


The route is nestled between two national forests and adjacent to a designated wilderness area. This unique geological wonderland features rugged, crimson high desert rock faces and spectacular panoramic views. Expert narration and guides leave passengers with a sense of history, archaeology, geology, wildlife, and the Indian lore of the Verde Canyon.

From the moment you step aboard the fully-restored vintage train, you are whisked back to a time of luxurious and leisurely train travel. FP7 locomotives, two of only 12 remaining in North America, are the muscle that pulls the renovated consortium of cars. Indoor cars are climate-controlled, have restrooms which may be utilized throughout the trip, and the train meets ADA requirements.

All coaches on the Verde Canyon Railroad are designed expressly for passenger comfort. Adjoining outdoor viewing platforms with shaded canopies liberate you with the sounds and sights of the high desert that characterize the Canyon. Access to open-air cars and narration are elite amenities, making our train experience unlike any other.

Comfortable seating, thoughtful décor and friendly, informative attendants add to the beauty of this remote wilderness without sacrificing the luxury of comfort.

Spacious living room-style seating near panoramic windows highlights this scenic excursion. Individually-packaged, freshly-made snacks of meats, cheeses, seasonal fruits/vegetables and our popular brownie bites are served at your seats. Full bar service is available in every car. Bottled water is available throughout the trip. All seating cars connect to open-air viewing platforms. “Private” seating is not guaranteed as our seating is configured in even number of two or four. Facing couches accommodate four people while two chairs and a table accommodate pairs. In order to oblige the high volume of reservation requests, there will be times when non-associated parties will be seated across from another party.
