Arches and Canyonlands Getaway

Independent 3-day Arches and Canyonlands getaway from Grand Junction, rail priced separately

Illustration of Arches and Canyonlands Getaway

Amtrak Vacations packages this 3-day, 2-night independent getaway around two national parks, Arches and Canyonlands. The trip is based in Moab, reached by a roundtrip transfer from Grand Junction, and includes a sightseeing tour that takes in the sandstone formations of Arches National Park and the mesas and rock columns of Canyonlands, with a stop at Dead Horse Point State Park overlooking the Colorado River. Rail travel to Grand Junction is not included in the price; it is quoted separately at your chosen accommodation level. This short getaway suits travelers who want a focused, independent visit to these two parks without a longer itinerary.
