The Weekend Guide: All Aboard

We've got transportation (and wine) on the brain...

Hear that? The whistle’s a blowin’ and the wheels are a rollin’, so jump on board!

First stop, escape the daily grind and take a day trip to Clarkdale, Arizona for an End of the Summer Excursion aboard the Verde Canyon Railroad. Skip the messy camping trip and enjoy cocktails and appetizers as you take a four hour expedition through Arizona’s backcountry while relaxing in a chic refurbished vintage car instead.

Want to leave the kids at home? The Verde Canyon Railroad has extra special trips set up for the 21+ crowd. Starting this Saturday until September 10th passengers can enjoy tequila and wine tasting on the Saturday night Starlight Tours. Starry starry bliss.

Bus travel more your style? Check out the Wickenburg Film Commission’s overnight bar crawl. Every frat boy’s dream come true begins early Saturday morning in Wickenburg and focuses on Arizona’s most historic bars including the Wagon Wheel Saloon in Patagonia and the Desert Diamond Resort & Casino in Tucson. Two days of beers, busses and brawls, the fee includes transportation, breakfast, lunch, breakfast again (you’ll be consuming a liquid dinner) and drink coupons. To sign up and for more information contact the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce.

Whether traveling by bus or by train, this train (bus) is bound for glory!
