Bald Eagles in the Verde Canyon
The Verde Canyon Railroad runs from Clarkdale up the canyon in search of Bald Eagles. There are two known pairs that are resident all year. In the winter many more migrate south to the Verde River Canyon. The train ride is two hours up the canyon to Perkinsville where there is a stop over while the engine is switiched to the opposite end of the train for the return trip. In addition to watching for eagles the canyon is very scenic.
