WhereDaily News: A Real Life Amusement Park: a Wilderness Summer at Verde Canyon Railroad
SEDONA, AZ and VERDE VALLEY, AZ and CLARKDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - February 15, 2016) - The wild natural scenery along the Verde Canyon Railroad has inspired amusement park designers for decades to recreate the sights and sounds along their roller coaster tracks. Every summer millions flock to these amusement parks nationwide, where they wait in line for hours to enjoy a few moments on a roller coaster, go broke on officially-licensed souvenirs and eat too many stomach-churning treats. This season, families may wish to consider a journey away from fantasy and into reality: red rock hoodoos, untamed rivers, mining towns and real mountain vistas.
