Red Rocks Explorer: Las Vegas to Denver (Eastbound)

Las Vegas to Denver guided national parks tour with Rocky Mountaineer finish

Illustration of Red Rocks Explorer: Las Vegas to Denver (Eastbound)

Canada Rail operates this 7-day, 6-night guided motorcoach and rail trip from Las Vegas to Denver, touring three of Utah's national parks before finishing aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. After a day in Las Vegas, a guided motorcoach tour travels to Bryce Canyon National Park by way of Zion National Park, then continues the next day touring Bryce Canyon's viewpoints en route to Moab. From Moab, a guided tour visits Arches National Park, one of Utah's 'Mighty 5', with a half-day tour of Canyonlands National Park also included. The Rocky Mountaineer then takes over for two days, departing Moab in the afternoon, crossing the Utah-Colorado border to Glenwood Springs, and passing rugged canyons and the Colorado River before crossing the Continental Divide into Denver. With guided park touring, most meals, and a two-day Rocky Mountaineer finish included, this trip suits travelers who want the desert national parks covered by tour rather than by rental car.
