Tonight's accommodations are on a train. It has been a long day in the sun. Time to sleep -- if the birds quiet down.

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park



A Magna Arizona Railrod locomotive greets visitors


The McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in central Scottsdale is a city park that, in addition to the typical things found in city parks, features many railroad-related attractions. These include a 15 inch gauge railroad that runs visitors around the park, a Magma Arizona Railroad locomotive, a railroad museum, and numerous model railroad displays. Oh, and there's also a carousel.

The Scottsdale Charros Carousel was made in 1950 by the Allan Herschell Company 

A carousel ride is only $2
