Utah’s Mighty Five and The Rockies featuring 2 days aboard the Canyon Spirit train

Set out for an awe-inspiring train trip from Denver to Moab aboard Canyon Spirit and trek across the Southwest as you take in the sienna-colored canyons, towering spires and desert landscapes found in Utah’s five national parks. Your journey begins in the mile-high city of Denver – an urban gateway to America’s natural beauty. As travelers' arrival times vary, we have not included any sightseeing today. Spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. Tonight join your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner.

It’s all aboard for a two-day train journey on the luxurious Canyon Spirit! Take in spectacular views of rugged canyons and valleys, cross the Continental Divide, and pass the Colorado River before arriving at the resort town of Glenwood Springs. Located at the confluence of the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers, this historic town is famous for the hot springs at its center.

Back onboard Canyon Spirit, continue your scenic train ride enjoying stunning mountain views as you cross the Colorado-Utah border. Red rock sandstone landscapes emerge as you make your way to Moab, Utah’s outdoor adventure center and the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.

Journey through the otherworldly oases of two national parks. Hike* along red rock features as you make your way through Arches National Park. Continue to Canyonlands National Park, resting in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, and discover a world of mesas and canyons. Close by, at the Island in the Sky, look out over a landscape of ethereal valleys and dreamy horizons. Today’s park pilgrimage ends atop the sheer sandstone cliffs of Dead Horse Point State Park.
