Should I make the trip again, I will spend the night in El Divisadero.
Most accounts describe expensive lodging in Divisadero, but two of the
hotels have rooms overlooking the canyon itself and are reputed to have
superb food and service. There is a huge balancing rock nearby and hiking
trails around the canyon rim. You should also consider taking one of the
many, many side trips available into the canyons themselves.
I could have stood at the observation station for hours just taking pictures,
but by now, regretfully, the engineer was blowing the train whistle and
the conductors saying, "Vamanos!"

You may see a lot more pictures and learn about Los Mochis, Creel, and
the other points of interest in the Copper
Canyon article on my website. There is also a
lot more information about the history of this great railway and that
of the Tarahumara Indians. Finally, what did it cost? I made the round
trip from Ciudad Chihuahua to Los Mochis and back for only $400. You can
find out how in the article.
