Verde Canyon Railroad, Arizona

We arrived in Arizona In mid December. Debbie’s brother-in-law Steve had an extra ticket on the Verde Valley Railroad tour and invited Bill to join him. The railroad goes thru the Verde Valley and covers the area that was a large copper mining area in the late 1800s. The train traveled along the Verde River which in some parts are only accessible via the train. The train ride went up the valley 20 miles and returned later in the afternoon. The scenery was beautiful as the attached pictures try to show but do not do it justice. It was fun to see the old history of the mining area and the beautiful scenery of this part of Arizona. Travel trip. Just buy the cheap seats as you will want to spend most of your time on the outside observation cars taking in the sites.
