Journey overview

Clarkdale and the Verde Canyon at a glance.

Set aside a half day for the Clarkdale-to-Perkinsville canyon excursion, with transfers arranged around the actual departure rather than a general four-hour estimate. This is a return sightseeing journey, not a way to reach a separate resort. Keep any later activities flexible and select the day’s service according to the preferred seating, refreshments and atmosphere.

This journey is most rewarding when the route, service level and wider travel arrangements are planned together. Our travel specialists can compare the direction of travel, touring pace and accommodation options, then coordinate suitable hotels or private transfers around the rail experience.
