DETOURS Touring Company and the Verde Canyon Railroad join forces this Valentine's Day to bring you an unforgettable Valentine experience in Arizona's breathtaking Verde Valley. Climb aboard the luxurious DETOURS Adventure Van, outfitted with leather captains chairs, and depart the Phoenix / Scottsdale area for your full day chocolate odyssey this Valentine's weekend, February 12-14, 2010.

Your guide will take you from the bustle of Phoenix up into Arizona's scenic Verde Valley where you will enjoy a tour of Tuzigoot National Monument, a Native American village in Red Rock Country, and the quaint hillside mining town of Jerome.

Then you will board the Verde Canyon Railroad for a 4-hour train ride in first-class comfort. As the train passes towering mountains, ancient Indian ruins, rumbles along fortified trestles, and passes Arizona's wildlife, you can enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres, full cash bar, and fabulous chocolate desserts.

You'll return back to the Scottsdale area around 7 p.m. wrapped in a lovely chocolate haze and filled with unique scenes of Arizona's wildlife, landscapes, and history.

The tour and train ride package is $190 per person. To make your reservations for an unforgettable Valentine's Day Chocolate Lovers' Getaway, call 866-438-6877. They will provide you with the exact pickup locations.
