According to the website, this stunning vista is only accessible by train!

If you're wondering when the best time to go is, Narcity has confirmed with the Verde Canyon Railroad that the fall colors tour is part of a standard ride. 

There's no exact date when the leaves will start changing; however, you can call to find out whether the leaves have turned before you go!

Standard coach tickets are $74 and have panoramic windows with stunning views.

All of the cars will give you access to open-air platforms if you want unobstructed sights al fresco.

The vintage train ride will take you on a 40-mile roundtrip journey past flora and fauna, the Verde River, and stunning foliage. 

It'll be about a 3.5-hour adventure through an illuminated wonderland. 

Rides are available year-round, and sometimes events are going on like Ales on Rails and a magical Christmas journey. 

You can also purchase appetizers or booze if you want to snack with a view. It's the perfect place to bring a date!

If you're craving sweater weather and fall colors, this expedition will give you a taste of autumn in the desert.
