Celebrate Romance on the Rails Aboard Verde Canyon Railroad


Verde Canyon Railroad “sweetens” the Valentine season aboard the popular Chocolate Lovers' Special. Lovebirds are whisked away on a journey of the senses aboard updated vintage rail cars. First-class service to each comfortable, living room-style seat features an abundance of decadent treats. An adjacent open-air viewing car is the perfect place to cuddle closely and catch a breath of crisp, late winter breezes while marveling at Mother Nature’s timeless artistry.


Known as “The Valentine State,” Arizona became the 48th star on the American flag on February 14th, 1912. Celebrating Valentine’s Day in “The Valentine State” is a win-win for all who are lucky enough to become immersed deep into the wild heart of Arizona, traveling through an awe-inspiring riparian area with romantic red-rock canyon views.


Passengers aboard the Chocolate Lovers’ Special will savor sumptuous chocolate treats served to each table with a choice of one specialty romance-themed cocktail or mocktail. Sweethearts can share nibbles of delectable desserts while enjoying the tastiest treat of all: the decadent, wild winter scenery of the Verde Canyon.


The scent of sweet confections wafts through the train cars as stunning scenery of the private and protected backcountry fills the panoramic windows at each seat. There isn’t a dreamier setting to indulge the craving for chocolate than a gently rocking train, rolling through the wall-to-wall wonderland of the Verde Canyon. Standard amenities such as a charcuterie box and champagne/cider toast for every guest are also included.

Since 1955 the Annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and Shopping Expo has set the pace in the Arabian horse world. The first show was held at the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel which was a beautiful setting for a horse show. The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show was a first class show from the very first day.


After the show's beginnings at the Arizona Biltmore, Ann McCormick bought 150 acres in Scottsdale and made it into the horse facility known as Paradise Park which served the needs of the show for many years.


Since that time, the show has been held at WestWorld in Scottsdale. It has grown from 50 horses to nearly 2000 horses bringing top owners, trainers and breeders from around the world competing for a chance at winning. A win at Scottsdale can mean big money in the breeding barns. In addition to exciting competitions, educational seminars, family-focused events, and an international cuisine court, the event features more than 250 vendor booths, offering everything from lavish jewelry, clothing and works of art.


The 2025 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show is proud to benefit these worthwhile charities:
Arabian Horse Promotional Fund [https://arabianhorsepromotionalfund.com/],  Arabian Horsemen's Distress Fund [https://www.horsemensdistressfund.com/],  Breakthrough T1D- Formerly JDRF [https://www.breakthrought1d.org/],
