Verde Canyon Railroad - a beautiful 4 hour round trip
4 hours from Clarkdale to Perkinsville and back through Arizons's other "Grand Canyon".
Our train: The 2 engines pulling us above, the front of our train as seen from our car, then the caboose. You can ride the caboose for $600. You get champaign, special food and a personal valet to take care of your every whim (up to 6 people).
Clarkdale is an old copper mining town. When you leave the station you go past a mound.
It is 500 million pounds of tailings from the copper mine, just sitting there. Lately the technology has developed so that it is worth the time and effort to render them for the various ores and minerals.
