EPIC RIDE The Verde Canyon Railroad's historic roundtrip route from Clarkdale to Perkinsville - into Arizona's other "Grand Canyon" - is an unforgettable adventure. Captivating panoramic views are revealed in every direction, exclusively from the relaxed atmosphere of the train. This historic ribbon of rail runs through a protected corridor at the river's edge, lined with towering red rock pinnacles, near ancient Indian ruins, over fortified bridges and through an invigorating 734-foot manmade tunnel carved through solid rock over a century ago.

LOCAL FAVORITE
CULTURE & TRADITION La Posada Hotel was originally a "Harvey" Hotel, designed to host visitors arriving by train and popular during the 1930s with celebrities and politicians. La Posada's current restaurant, The Turquoise Room, reflects the fine dining past connected to the railroad, as "The Turquoise Room" was the private dining car in the deluxe train that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles, with a stop in Winslow, Arizona.

TOUR HIGHLIGHT
CULTURE & TRADITION For nearly 5,000 years, people have lived in these canyons - longer than anyone has lived uninterrupted anywhere on the Colorado Plateau. Remains of their homes and images on the canyon walls tell us their stories. Today, the Navajo people (Dine) make their homes, raise crops, and farm the lands in the canyon. Canyon de Chelly National Monument was established in 1931 to preserve the natural, archaeological, and cultural resources. The park is unique among National Park Service units, as it is comprised entirely of Navajo Tribal Trust Land and embraces nearly 84,000 acres. The National Park Service continues to work in partnership with the Navajo Nation to manage park resources and sustain this living Navajo community.
