Ales on Rails is Verde Canyon Railroad’s way of toasting the German Oktoberfest tradition that has been interwoven into the American tapestry for over 200 years. It is a time to extol autumn’s flamboyance and bounteous harvest. An event to match nature’s exuberance begins before train time on the station’s patio with a lively band, raffle give-a-ways; and a hearty feast of brats, pretzels and strudel. Local breweries showcase ales as amber as the leaves drifting in the breeze.
The revelry continues aboard the train which pulls out of the station at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 1:00 p.m. on Sundays throughout October for a four-hour round-trip to Perkinsville Ranch. The autumnal glory unfolds outside the panoramic windows of the deluxe climate-controlled coaches while passengers savor favorite picks of Arizona microbrewery ale. Jaunts to the open-air viewing cars with camera in hand are “a must” to capture wildlife amid this valley ablaze with gold, crimson and orange, and for a deep breath of clear fall air.
Leave the confines of city life for Ales on Rails and Haunted Halloween in favor of high-spirited fun and an unforgettable journey around every bend and over every bridge as the train winds through the red-rock canyon in autumnal brilliance.
