Enjoy open-air cars where the lush riparian landscape of summer, including canopies cottonwoods, moody monsoon afternoons and deep crimson cliffs, compliments a great glass of wine!

Our hostess in the Cottonwood car was exceptional. She was very attentive and welcoming. Bryon was very knowledgeable of the ride and was also great . The 5:30 ride is the perfect time to go.

70th Birthday Celebration
Published on Jun, 2024
My husband would always talk about riding the train through the canyons. We always thought we would but never did. Our birthdays are a day apart so our celebrations were special so this year I decided to take this train ride in his honor.
And to add it was my 70th birthday. Loved the ride!
