Celebrate Romance on the Rails Aboard Verde Canyon Railroad


Verde Canyon Railroad “sweetens” the Valentine season aboard the popular Chocolate Lovers' Special. Lovebirds are whisked away on a journey of the senses aboard updated vintage rail cars. First-class service to each comfortable, living room-style seat features an abundance of decadent treats. An adjacent open-air viewing car is the perfect place to cuddle closely and catch a breath of crisp, late winter breezes while marveling at Mother Nature’s timeless artistry.


Known as “The Valentine State,” Arizona became the 48th star on the American flag on February 14th, 1912. Celebrating Valentine’s Day in “The Valentine State” is a win-win for all who are lucky enough to become immersed deep into the wild heart of Arizona, traveling through an awe-inspiring riparian area with romantic red-rock canyon views.


Passengers aboard the Chocolate Lovers’ Special will savor sumptuous chocolate treats served to each table with a choice of one specialty romance-themed cocktail or mocktail. Sweethearts can share nibbles of delectable desserts while enjoying the tastiest treat of all: the decadent, wild winter scenery of the Verde Canyon.


The scent of sweet confections wafts through the train cars as stunning scenery of the private and protected backcountry fills the panoramic windows at each seat. There isn’t a dreamier setting to indulge the craving for chocolate than a gently rocking train, rolling through the wall-to-wall wonderland of the Verde Canyon. Standard amenities such as a charcuterie box and champagne/cider toast for every guest are also included.

In this crowd-pleasing comedy, once-famous mystery writers are brought together to collaborate on a new murder mystery TV show! The five eccentric writers include a couple who write sophisticated murder mysteries, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of hard-hitting thrillers, and an aging queen of the logical whodunit. Each applies their unique methods, alternating between reality and imagination, to solve the murders occurring all around them. An ingenious parody of every mystery plot, hero and villain created in the past 50 years, the author plays a skillful, fast-paced and clever game of 'Guess Again' with the audience!
