El Chepe
After visiting Z this coming January we are headed north to finish the trip taking the train ride through the Copper Canyon stopping in a few spots along the route. Does anyone have any experience with this and any suggestions?

I suggest you board the train in El Fuerte. There is a ticket agency there and good hotels. The ride from Los Mochis to El Fierte is fairly uninteresting and not worth the extra pesos.

It will probably be cold in January, at least on the canyon rim. We went in November several years ago and it snowed up top while it was like summer on the canyon floor.
Things have probably modernized since we were there, but communication was difficult at the time so we made our arrangements through California Native, who have guides in the canyon all the time and could deal with the lack of phones, computers, and the like.
We spent a couple of weeks in and around the canyon; if you would like some details send me an email.

ps: El Fuerte is a good recommendation.
