Rockies to the Red Rocks Two-day Rail Only

2-day rail-only Canyon Spirit trip from Moab to Denver

Rockies to the Red Rocks Two-day Rail Only, a rail journey with Canyon Spirit

Canyon Spirit's Two-day Rail Only package covers two days aboard the Canyon Spirit Signature train, running from Moab to Denver by way of Glenwood Springs. The first day crosses the Utah-Colorado border with mountain views before ending in the resort town of Glenwood Springs, where 1 hotel night is included. The second day crosses the Continental Divide, with views of rugged canyons and the Colorado River, before arriving in Denver. A dedicated team of onboard Hosts travels with guests throughout, and all onboard meals, snacks and beverages are included on both days. Because this is a rail-only package, hotels in Moab and Denver are not included, so travelers arrange their own accommodation at each end of the trip. This suits travelers who already have their own Moab and Denver plans and want just the two-day rail journey and its one stopover night handled.
