Riding the Rails in Phoenix

Just opened in 2008, the new light rail system currently goes from Mesa to the north side of Phoenix, and you can buy an unlimited day pass for only $3.50 per person.


We got on in Tempe and headed north to check out downtown Phoenix. Here we were passing Chase Field, where the Arizona Diamondbacks play.


At the far north end we got off for awhile to watch part of the Fiesta Bowl Parade.


As we were waiting for the next train to take us back to the south end, this little guy saw me taking a photo and decided he wanted to be in it too!
