Your tour starts off by taking you in luxury from your hotel to Jerome. Once known as the wickedest town in the west, this copper mining camp, grew from a settlement of tents to a roaring mining community. After going through a period as the largest Ghost Town in America, Jerome has become a thriving tourist and artist community.

You'll visit Douglas Mansion, which features exhibits of photographs, artifacts, and minerals in addition to a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mine.

After Jerome, you will take a trip on Arizona’s Longest-Running Nature Show, the Verde Canyon Railway.

Passengers have a unique opportunity to view Sinagua Indian ruins, a monocline fold, pass through a 680 ft. man-made tunnel, and traverse the North Verde River, home to a variety of endangered and endearing waterfowl and wildlife.

The land traveled by the Railroad provides the only way possible to view a unique and protected wilderness preservation. The train engines and beautiful eagle artwork was painted by wildlife and landscape artist, Doug Allen.

The railroads of north central Arizona were all built to support the bustling mining activity in Jerome. The Verde Valley Railroad was operated by the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railroad.

The remains of the old United Verde Copper Company can be seen from the train ride. The smelter, used until 1952, blew its first stack in 1962 and the remaining one in 1965, marking the end of an era. With the resurrection of the Verde Canyon Railroad, the railroad now plays an important role in a new era of train travel.

You end your day by enjoying the fun, entertainment and food at the Blazin’ M Ranch. Enjoy a Cowboy stage show, cowboy poetry, shooting range and an all-u-can eat chuckwagon dinner. Yee-Haa!
