Starlight Ride på Verde Canyon Railroad
Beskrivelse
Hop ombord på Verde Canyon Railroad for en 4-timers togrejse gennem den uberørte og uspolerede Verde-dal. Med førsteklasses siddepladser vil du nyde uhindret udsigt over Arizonas geologiske vidundere, dyreliv og arkæologiske fund af de gamle Sinagua-folk, der engang boede i området. Verde Canyon Railroad tilbyder Starlight- og Moonlight-udflugter på udvalgte fredage og lørdage fra maj til september, og afgår fra depotet under de køligere temperaturer senere på eftermiddagen og rejser gennem solnedgang og ind i tusmørkets måneskær. Indklemt mellem to beskyttede nationale skove og støder op til Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, bringer Verde Canyon Railroad sine passagerer ind i et utæmmet og uspoleret terræn, det yderst sjældne bånd, hvor høj ørken møder floden.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tag til Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot i Clarkdale, Arizona, ikke langt fra Sedona, for at begynde dit Verde Canyon Railroad Starlight-eventyr. Dette jernbaneeventyr byder på en togtur i vildmarken gennem den afsidesliggende Verde Canyon, som er kendt for sine maleriske omgivelser og rigelige dyreliv. Selvom det er muligt at vandre i canyonen, er den langt den nemmeste måde at opleve det på ved at køre på dette naturskønne vildmarkstog. Toget består af udsøgt renoverede passagervogne og udendørs udsigtsvogne trukket af vintage lokomotiver og kører en rute langs Verde-floden mellem Clarkdale og Perkinsville. Efter at være gået om bord fra Clarkdale-depotet, kan du læne dig tilbage til en 4-timers, 40-mile rundtur, der inkluderer udsigt over historiske minesteder, geologiske vidundere, Sinagua indiske klippeboliger og dyreliv fra skaldet ørne til antiloper.
Ved depotet skal du sørge for at besøge John Bell Museum, der er hjemsted for jernbanens historie og artefakter fra dens tidlige dage, samt et væld af oplysninger om Clarkdale, Jerome og Yavapai-Apache Nation.
Toget kører på de samme spor, som blev skabt efter Verde-floden tilbage i 1911. Floden er synlig det meste af din rejse.
SOB Canyon og den 150 fod høje bro er højdepunkterne på turen. At se tilbage fra broen og ned ad canyonen er simpelthen fantastisk!
Oplev historien om Perkinsville Ghost Town gennem kommentarer ombord på din togrejse. Dette er vendepunktet for din rejse.
Du kører forbi Tuzigoot National Monument på din togrejse.

My husband surprised me for my birthday and took me on the Starlight ride. Breathtaking views and charming scenery. With the way the train organized it still felt very intimate, as each car only holds so many people and your small group becomes a small family on the adventure together! Both tour guides were fantastic (Antony and Anisa) they were so knowledgeable and helpful! Overall a fabulous time and would recommend to anyone of all ages!
What a lovely birthday surprise! Kudos to your husband for the fantastic idea! Thanks for riding with us and sharing kind words about the views, the accommodations and our crew. We'll be sure Antony and Enysca see your compliments.
It’s been so long since I got to enjoy an unconstructed night sky. The view was fantastic! The ride is out and back and heading out was during daylight hours (we rode first weekend of August). So great views of God’s creation. The last half hour or so on the way back it was pitch dark so we could see all the stars. Cricket was pleasant and engaging. She served us inside the car while Brandt did an excellent job pointing things out and giving us interesting history facts. Our ticket through Viator was a bit more but included a meal voucher for the cafe. Onboard was individual charcuterie boards with mini bottles of brut to share. More food than I could eat. I had the criapy chicken sandwich from the cafe. It was actually very good! I would do this trip again.
Diana, thank you for riding the Starlight with us and sharing this fantastic review. We appreciate your kind words for our view, crew and food.
Such a unique experience pleasant ride, great bartenders and tour guides. Nice to have open car area access
Billy, we're glad you enjoyed so many aspects of the adventure. Thanks for riding with us.
We loved this relaxing and beautiful ride through Verde Canyon! We enjoyed seeing the scenery up close. Our bartender gave a lot of information about the area as we passed through it. Very enjoyable! When we booked our trip, the description on Viator mentioned something about “in 2023 meal ticket vouchers were provided with purchase”. We were confused as to why it mentioned 2023, and wondered if we actually had meal vouchers waiting for us. There were in fact, meal vouchers, ready for us, but the way the description was worded, made us unsure. So if you’re booking, don’t eat beforehand because there are meal vouchers provided. The box meal at the station has many options and the portions are ample. We actually had too much food and did not finish our charcuterie tray. We were unable to see any stars on this starlight excursion due to the cloud cover. It had actually been cloudy for several days in row, so I’m not sure July is the best time for a starlight train ride. We also did not see any wildlife other than a few birds. But the scenery was amazing!
Thanks for riding and relaxing aboard Starlight with us and sharing this detailed recap. Thanks also for bringing to our attention the outdated verbiage on the lunch voucher description, which we have now updated.
AMAZING experience… this is certainly the way to get out in the depths of the Sycamore Canyons. Train staff was awesome, cars were in great condition, full bar, totally amazing!
Wow, Kyle, thanks for riding with us and sharing this excellent review. We're glad you enjoyed the crew, the accommodations and the wild canyon scenery.

Thanks so much, Halle! We love your enthusiastic endorsement and kind words for the experience and our crew.
This is the best train ride! It is worth every cent. I was so surprised we got a dinner voucher. They also provided crackers, cheese, slice meats, with fruit and champagne. It was really amazing! Michael and Mat were our guides. They were very knowledgeable with great information along the train ride. Make sure to book the 5:30pm trip. You get to go up during daytime. you catch a beautiful sunset coming back. you get to also experience the ride at night. Truly beautiful ❤️
We're delighted you enjoyed your adventure aboard the Starlight! Thanks for your compliments for the food, charcuterie, crew and views. We'll be sure Michael and Matt see your compliments.
