Yesterday, we took a trip over to Clarkdale (about 10 miles) and rode the Verde Canyon Railroad. This awesomely scenic ride took us 20 miles up the Verde River Canyon to Perkinsville, site of the Perkins Ranch, where they reversed the locomotives to the other end of the train and came back to Clarkdale. The whole trip is slow (10-15 mph) and relaxing. Each car has an outdoor car too. Geezer rate was $49 but well worth it.
Here's Kathy just before we boarded the train
A Sinuagua cliff dwelling just outside of Clarkdale
One of the larger trestles
Somewhere down there is the Verde River
Some gorgeous red rock faces in the distance
The Verde River runs through it
The usual horizontal layers are vertical here
Now they're horizontal.
