Arkansas is filled with beautiful hikes as well as scenic drives, but there's another way to take in the sights of the Natural State. The Arkansas-Missouri Railroad offers a gorgeous train ride through one of the prettiest parts of the state, the Van Buren to Winslow train ride. This 70-mile round trip is breathtaking year-round, with views varying by season. Let's hop aboard and enjoy the view on this beloved Arkansas train ride, one of the best train rides in the USA:

A train ride aboard the Arkansas-Missouri Railroad is an excursion that should be on every Arkansan's bucket list.

The rail offers three different rides throughout the year but today we'll be focused on the 70-mile trip from Van Buren to Winslow. This ride departs from the station located at 813 Main St., Van Buren, AR, 72956.

At 70 miles round-trip, the Arkansas Van Buren to Winslow train excursion is the shortest of the rides, but it's certainly not lacking in outstanding scenic views.

The excursion cuts through the beautiful Boston Mountains and traverses through some beautiful points of interest.

Train enthusiasts of every age will delight in passing over the train trestles.

The ride has three valley trestles that offer gorgeous overlooks, particularly in the fall.

The highs and lows through the mountains are fascinating to pass through.

Like this one, the Schaberg Cut. The train also cuts through the 1,700-ft. long Winslow Tunnel.

Riders can choose two different ways to view the sights during this incredible, scenic train ride.

The standard coach option gives riders the classic train ride experience (with air conditioning) on a 1920s-style car with vintage flip seating and windows across both sides of the car. Riders can also choose to sit in the Silver Feather Premium car. This 1940s-built car includes the best way to see the sights, the Vista Dome. Cars are climate-controlled.

Regardless of seating, this train ride is undoubtedly the most relaxing way to take in the beauty of the Natural State.

The excursion takes three hours. To see the calendar of train rides and ticket pricing details, visit the A&M Railroad website. Advanced ticket purchase is highly recommended, and tickets are non-refundable.
