Left Meteor Crater early afternoon. Doing some geocaching along I-7. Stopped at the Cliff casino for a few hours before getting to the hotel in Cottonwood. The next morning off to Denny's for breakfast. Did some geocaching prior to arrriving at the Train depot.
Picked up my tickets- seating will be in the Sycamore car (1st class). Lots of info in the John Bell Museum, a renovated boxcar housing Railroad history.
The trip follows the Verde river and passes towering pinnacles, ancient Indian ruins, over fortified trestles, past a monocline fault and through a 680' tunnel on a four hour rail journey from the old mining town of Clarkdale to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back.
The 1st class was cool, accommodating fewer pasengers in a spacious living room style seating. Champagne was served upon boarding, full service bar and complimentary appetizers (nice spread). Train departed at 1 sharp and returned at 5pm. Awesome train ride with great views.
