Clarkdale, AZ, October 6, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Brisk high desert air and eagles soaring high send thrilling chills and inspire warm hugs aboard an open-air viewing car.

Winter is magical in the pristine Arizona wilderness of Verde Canyon Railroad.

A gift card to ride the rails is a unique treat that promises anticipation, excitement and lifelong memories. Verde Canyon Railroad gift cards may be used for train tickets during any season, as well as at the depot gift shop and café.

From December through February, unfettered by foliage, Verde Canyon’s magnificent bone structure is on full display. Winter is prime time to witness raptors along the rails as resident eagles and hawks are joined by their migrating feathered friends enjoying a mild seasonal respite in Arizona.

The historic rail line was once a treasured connection between the booming copper mines of Jerome and distant civilization. Today, two million passengers later, the train continues to rumble into this same, untouched terrain where resident raptors soar from the edges of deep red cliffs, and the perennially-flowing water of the Verde River weaves an awe-inspiring path through the high desert.
