Starlight-Fahrt auf Verde Canyon Railroad
Beschreibung
Steigen Sie an Bord der Verde Canyon Railroad für eine 4-stündige Zugfahrt durch das unberührte und unberührte Verde Valley. Mit erstklassigen Sitzgelegenheiten genießen Sie einen ungehinderten Blick auf die geologischen Wunder Arizonas, die Tierwelt und die archäologischen Funde des alten Sinagua-Volkes, das einst in der Gegend lebte. Die Verde Canyon Railroad bietet an ausgewählten Freitagen und Samstagen von Mai bis September Starlight- und Moonlight-Exkursionen an, die das Depot bei den kühleren Temperaturen des späteren Nachmittags verlassen und durch den Sonnenuntergang und in das Mondlicht der Dämmerung fahren. Eingebettet zwischen zwei geschützten Nationalwäldern und angrenzend an die Sycamore Canyon Wilderness bringt die Verde Canyon Railroad ihre Passagiere in ein ungezähmtes und unberührtes Gelände, das äußerst seltene Band, an dem die hohe Wüste auf den Fluss trifft.

Reiseverlauf
Machen Sie sich auf den Weg zum Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot in Clarkdale, Arizona, unweit von Sedona, um Ihr Verde Canyon Railroad Starlight-Abenteuer zu beginnen. Dieses Bahnabenteuer bietet eine Wildniszugfahrt durch den abgelegenen Verde Canyon, der für seine malerische Umgebung und die reiche Tierwelt bekannt ist. Obwohl es möglich ist, im Canyon zu wandern, ist es bei weitem am einfachsten, diesen malerischen Wildniszug zu erleben. Der Zug besteht aus exquisit renovierten Personenwagen und Open-Air-Beobachtungswagen, die von Oldtimer-Lokomotiven gezogen werden, und fährt eine Strecke entlang des Verde River zwischen Clarkdale und Perkinsville. Lehnen Sie sich nach dem Einsteigen aus dem Clarkdale-Depot für eine 4-stündige, 40-Meilen-Rundreise zurück, die Ausblicke auf historische Bergbaustätten, geologische Wunder, Sinagua-Indianer-Klippenwohnungen und wild lebende Tiere von Weißkopfseeadlern bis hin zu Antilopen bietet.
Besuchen Sie im Depot unbedingt das John Bell Museum, das die Geschichte der Eisenbahn und Artefakte aus ihren Anfängen beherbergt, sowie eine Fülle von Informationen über Clarkdale, Jerome und die Yavapai-Apache Nation.
Der Zug fährt auf den gleichen Gleisen, die 1911 entlang des Flusses Verde angelegt wurden. Der Fluss ist während des größten Teils Ihrer Reise sichtbar.
Der SOB Canyon und die 50 Meter hohe Brücke sind Höhepunkte der Reise. Der Rückblick von der Brücke und den Canyon hinunter ist einfach wunderschön!
Entdecken Sie die Geschichte der Geisterstadt Perkinsville durch die Kommentare an Bord während Ihrer Zugfahrt. Dies ist der Wendepunkt Ihrer Reise.
Sie fahren auf Ihrer Zugfahrt am Tuzigoot National Monument vorbei.

You get your moneys worth! Very courteous and personal. Enjoyed every minute of the ride! Would definitely do it again!
Absolutely stunning views during the first half of the ride and amazing starlit skies on the second half.
This experience is amazing!!! If you do nothing else, do this! The staff is very knowledgeable and made this experience feel once in a lifetime. The views and stars at night are breathtaking. Not to mention, the drinks the bartender made were top notch. I couldn’t give this experience enough praise and this made my partner’s 30th birthday. Thank you again for such an amazing experience!
Thanks for riding the Starlight with us and recommending us so highly! We're grateful you and your partner celebrated a special birthday with a ride aboard Verde Canyon Railroad.
This was genuinely one of the coolest things I have ever experienced! From the views to the staff to the food, it was truly incredible. I would highly recommend everyone to try this out, especially the night ride. The sunset and starts were absolutely breathtaking.
10/10! Wow! Thanks for riding with us and recommending us so highly, Alyssa!
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.
The package is worth the money. Loved the seating, and charcuterie provided. The views and menu information provided along the way were amazing! This out second time and it was just as exciting as the first.
Tammy, we appreciate you being a repeat rider! Thanks for being a fan and sharing such kind words about your experience.
