Verde Canyon Railroad presents a four-hour stargazing journey that begins in daylight and flows into twilight, starlight, and moonlight. As the train winds through the canyon, vivid colors wash over the cliffs and the desert sky opens to a canopy of constellations far from city glow. Depending on the moon, the landscape may shine with a soft silver hue or rest beneath a richly starry sky. Dusk can bring rare glimpses of wildlife as canyon walls carry the calls of native animals. As night deepens, rock formations seem to take on the shapes of creatures and angels, adding a sense of wonder to the passing scenery. This is a romantic and scenic way to experience the beauty of Verde Canyon by night.
