FALL COLORS ON THE VERDE CANYON RAILROAD

The Verde Canyon Railroad offers us a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of the canyon from the comfort of a fully restored, slow-rolling vintage FP7 locomotive—one of only 10 remaining in North America. This four-hour excursion carries us on a 20-mile journey through more than a century of history. We’ll pass ancient Sinagua Indian ruins set high in the cliffs and travel across sturdy trestles and bridges—a lasting testament to the men who built them more than 100 years ago. The route also includes a 680-foot tunnel blasted from solid rock—briefly enveloping passengers in darkness before reemerging into Arizona sunshine. Early November is one of the most spectacular times to visit Verde Canyon. The riparian corridor along the Verde River bursts into seasonal color as towering cottonwoods and stately sycamores turn brilliant shades of gold and amber, often contrasting dramatically with the red canyon walls and evergreen junipers above. This rare blend of high desert and lush river habitat creates a kaleidoscope of fall beauty—made even more magical when viewed from the train’s panoramic windows. All seats are FIRST CLASS. We’ll enjoy spacious living room–style seating and near-panoramic views. Other amenities include a champagne toast upon boarding, full-service cash bars, table service, and pre-packaged complimentary appetizers. We’ll arrive early at the depot to enjoy a light lunch, on self, prior to boarding the train. The Verde Canyon Railroad is remarkable in every season—join us for this unforgettable fall journey!

LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS by Neil Simon

Feeling like life is passing him by, he decides to have an affair for the first time in his life—just one. Over the course of three acts, he awkwardly attempts to seduce three very different women in his mother’s apartment. Each encounter hilariously unravels as Barney’s nice-guy nature clashes with the realities of modern romance.
