Starlight Ride op Verde Canyon Railroad
Beschrijving
Spring aan boord van de Verde Canyon Railroad voor een 4 uur durende treinreis door de ongerepte en ongerepte Verde Valley. Met eersteklas zitplaatsen kunt u genieten van een onbelemmerd uitzicht op de geologische wonderen van Arizona, dieren in het wild en archeologische vondsten van de oude Sinagua-bevolking die ooit in het gebied woonde. De Verde Canyon Railroad biedt op bepaalde vrijdagen en zaterdagen van mei tot en met september Starlight- en Moonlight-excursies, waarbij ze het depot verlaten tijdens de koelere temperaturen van de late namiddag en reizen door zonsondergang en in de maangloed van de schemering. Ingeklemd tussen twee beschermde nationale bossen en grenzend aan de Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, brengt Verde Canyon Railroad zijn passagiers naar een ongetemd en ongerept terrein, het buitengewoon zeldzame lint waar de hoge woestijn de rivier ontmoet.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ga naar het Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot in Clarkdale, Arizona, niet ver van Sedona, om je Verde Canyon Railroad Starlight-avontuur te beginnen. Dit treinavontuur biedt een treinrit door de wildernis door de afgelegen Verde Canyon die bekend staat om zijn schilderachtige omgeving en overvloedige flora en fauna. Hoewel het mogelijk is om in de kloof te wandelen, is verreweg de gemakkelijkste manier om het te ervaren door met deze schilderachtige wildernistrein te rijden. De trein bestaat uit prachtig gerenoveerde passagiersrijtuigen en open-air kijkauto's getrokken door vintage locomotieven en reist een route langs de Verde River tussen Clarkdale en Perkinsville. Nadat je bent vertrokken vanuit het Clarkdale-depot, kun je achterover leunen voor een rondreis van 4 uur en 40 mijl met uitzicht op historische mijnsites, geologische wonderen, Sinagua-Indiase klifwoningen en dieren in het wild, van Amerikaanse zeearenden tot antilopen.
Breng in het depot zeker een bezoek aan het John Bell Museum, de thuisbasis van de geschiedenis van de spoorweg en artefacten uit de begintijd, evenals een schat aan informatie over Clarkdale, Jerome en de Yavapai-Apache Nation.
De trein rijdt op dezelfde sporen die in 1911 zijn aangelegd na de rivier de Verde. De rivier is het grootste deel van je reis zichtbaar.
SOB Canyon en de 150 ft hoge brug zijn hoogtepunten van de reis. Terugkijkend vanaf de brug en door de kloof is gewoonweg prachtig!
Ontdek de geschiedenis van Perkinsville Ghost Town door commentaar aan boord van uw treinreis. Dit is het keerpunt van uw reis.
Je rijdt langs Tuzigoot National Monument tijdens je treinreis.

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.

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.
