As the train rolled along the rails at a lazy 12 mph, the outdoor viewing platforms fully immersed you in the journey through the canyon.
If you ever get the opportunity to travel out to the northwest of Arizona, I would highly recommend spending an afternoon traveling the Verde Canyon Railroad.

After leaving Sedona, we drove an hour west to Clarkdale, Arizona. We then boarded the Verde Canyon Railroad for a 4 hour leisurely adventure through some magnificent scenery. The train travels to the remote settlement of Perkinsville. An old farming community were some of the 1962 classic movie, How the West Was Won was filmed.

The trails throughout the Sedona region are extensive. From easy hikes along level ground to strenuous climbs up steep terrain. The area has something to offer everyone. One thing for certain, the fine red dust that is prevalent to Red Rock country will definitely require professional camera cleaning when I get back to New York.
We came upon Sunshine, which I thought was a fitting name, as we were traveling to hike along Oak Creek. She was grazing on some brush alongside the road, apparently tired of the menu at the local ranch she calls home. She didn't mind me capturing a few shots of her. Remembering that we were carrying some Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts® on our hikes, I offered Sunshine one. Well, after that, we had the hardest time convincing her she couldn't fit in our rental car.

Just left Sedona, Arizona. Nestled in the Verde Valley stradling the counties of Coconino and Yavapai, the Red Rocks of Sedona provide a breathtaking experience. We hiked for miles through the backcountry and could not believe the splendor that keep unfolding before us.
I will post a series of images broken into two postings to keep the blog load time down. Please enjoy the first installment here.
I'll tell you more about our new friend "Sunshine" in the next post.

Visiting the Southwest and we had to make a point of seeing the Grand Canyon. To sum it up in one word - unbelievable! Here a a few images I made during the visit.
We are continuing our journey to Sedona, Arizona. I'll be posting photos in the next day.
