Starlight Ride på Verde Canyon Railroad
Beskrivning
Hoppa ombord på Verde Canyon Railroad för en 4-timmars tågresa genom den orörda och oförstörda Verdedalen. Med förstklassiga sittplatser kommer du att njuta av fri utsikt över Arizonas geologiska underverk, vilda djur och arkeologiska fynd av de gamla Sinagua-folket som en gång bodde i området. Verde Canyon Railroad erbjuder Starlight- och Moonlight-utflykter på utvalda fredagar och lördagar maj till september, avgår från depån under de kallare temperaturerna senare på eftermiddagen och reser genom solnedgången och in i skymningens månsken. Inklämd mellan två skyddade nationella skogar och intill Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, tar Verde Canyon Railroad sina passagerare in i en otämjd och oförstörd terräng, det ytterst sällsynta bandet där hög öken möter floden.

Resplan
Ta dig till Verde Canyon Railroad Train Depot i Clarkdale, Arizona, inte långt från Sedona, för att börja ditt Verde Canyon Railroad Starlight-äventyr. Detta järnvägsäventyr erbjuder en tågresa i vildmarken genom den avlägsna Verde Canyon som är känd för sin pittoreska miljö och ett rikt djurliv. Även om det är möjligt att vandra i kanjonen, är det överlägset enklaste sättet att uppleva det genom att åka på detta natursköna vildmarkståg. Tåget består av utsökt renoverade passagerarbussar och visningsvagnar utomhus som dras av vintagelok och färdas en rutt längs Verdefloden mellan Clarkdale och Perkinsville. Efter att ha stigit ombord från Clarkdale-depån kan du luta dig tillbaka för en 4-timmars, 40-mils rundresa som inkluderar utsikt över historiska gruvplatser, geologiska underverk, Sinagua indiska klippbostäder och vilda djur från skallig örn till antilop.
Se till att besöka John Bell Museum vid depån, hem till järnvägens historia och artefakter från dess tidiga dagar, samt en mängd information om Clarkdale, Jerome och Yavapai-Apache Nation.
Tåget går på samma spår som skapades efter floden Verde redan 1911. Floden är synlig under större delen av din resa.
SOB Canyon och den 150 fot höga bron är höjdpunkterna på resan. Att se tillbaka från bron och nerför kanjonen är helt enkelt underbart!
Upptäck historien om Perkinsville Ghost Town genom kommentarer ombord på din tågresa. Detta är vändpunkten för din resa.
Du åker förbi Tuzigoot National Monument på din tågresa.

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.
