🍂 FALL LEAF UPDATE FROM VERDE CANYON RAILROAD! 🍁

The colors are starting to change deep in the Canyon, and we’re catching our first glimpses of fall foliage along the rails!

Our caboose attendant, Tracy, captured a few of these beautiful scenes over the weekend, giving us a sneak peek at the colorful transformation.

I guess we can call this a “Tracy Tracking Leaves!” report! 🤠🍁

The fall colors are just getting started, and we can’t wait to watch the Canyon come alive with autumn hues in the weeks ahead!

All aboard for fall in the Verde Canyon! 🍂

Our resident mountain lion has made another appearance at Sycamore Siding, which is where our train starts to enter the picturesque red rock Canyon.
