One day we took an excursion on the Verde Canyon Railroad. The Verde Canyon Railroad is a heritage railroad running between Clarkdale and Perkinsville in the U.S. state of Arizona. The passenger excursion line operates on 20 miles of tracks of the Clarkdale Arizona Central Railroad. It was a 4 hour round trip with gorgeous scenery and delicious lunch.
Here’s the inside of the railroad car.
We had a charuterie lunch, which turned out to be delicious. I was a little hesitant about this lunch since I don’t normally eat cold cuts Here I am enjoying my lunch.
The scenery was to die for. And the pictures don’t do it justice. Everywhere you looked, you saw red rocks and desert scenes.
This panoramic view was my favorite. I think it captures the essence of Verde Canyon.
Have you ever taken a scenic train ride? I’d love to hear about it.
