Itinerary

DAY1Departing Moab aboard Canyon Spirit

Your journey from Utah's red rocks to the mountains of Colorado begins today in Moab. Arrive at Moab's train station in the afternoon to take your comfortable, reclining seat in a domed-glass car aboard Canyon Spirit. This train makes sightseeing a priority and provides opportunities from every angle, including from open-air vestibules.

As the beautiful rock formations and towering red cliffs of Moab fade into the backdrop, enjoy the stories of Utah's history from the host assigned to your train car. In addition to recounting the past, your host also points out scenic highlights as the route unfolds.

A light lunch and dinner are served at your seat, meaning you never miss a moment of grandeur as the train crosses the Colorado border and heads toward Glenwood Springs, your home for the night. As the train pulls into the station, you are transferred to the hotel, where you have a free evening to admire the new scenery. Overnight Glenwood Springs.

DAY2Crossing the Continental Divide to Denver

After a transfer back to Glenwood Springs' railway station this morning, rejoin Canyon Spirit for another day of jaw-dropping views from a perspective not seen by any other form of travel. Breakfast is served as the train sets off, bound for the "Mile High City."

Views of rugged canyons and the powerful Colorado River guide the course, with the mountain peeking out in the backdrop. Tilt your head back to see the rugged formations of the Rockies through the upper windows, or step into the vestibule to breathe in the fresh mountain air. In your train car, enjoy complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and a multi-course lunch as your host again narrates the epic journey.

Later in the afternoon, Canyon Spirit trundles across the Continental Divide and approaches Colorado's capital, where your journey comes to a close upon arriving at Denver's historic Union Station.
