Head into the Verde Valley and discover its mining tradition in Jerome and take a unique ride aboard the Verde Canyon train. We'll also visit the Montezuma and Tuzigoot monuments!

Jerome Tour + Verde Canyon Train

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Phoenix at 6:30 am to start our route through the Verde Valley, with a panoramic view of Mingus Mountain and the Mogollon Rim.

Our first stop is Montezuma Castle National Monument, one of the best-preserved sites in the Hohokam area, with over 700 years of history. Then, we'll head to Tuzigoot National Monument, built by the same local tribe as Montezuma.

Next, we'll visit Jerome, known for its mining traditions since 1800. We'll explore its historic streets and learn why this city was known as the Wickedest City in the West.

Our trip continues as we board the Verde Canyon train. From our seats, we'll admire the views of Verde Valley while enjoying a snack and learning about the railroad's history that began over 100 years ago. The train passes through the canyon at nearly 2,000 feet above sea level, offering views of Sedona and the Verde River during lunch.

After this experience, we'll return to Phoenix, arriving at your hotel around 6:30 pm to conclude the excursion.
