Incredible views of the vast, terracotta-hued deserts of Utah seamlessly blend into Colorado’s striking Rocky Mountain vistas on this rail adventure aboard Canyon Spirit

 Your journey from the red rocks of Utah's deserts to the dramatic mountain scenery of Colorado begins today in Moab. Arrive at Moab's train station in the afternoon to step aboard Canyon Spirit and take your comfortable, reclining seat in a domed-glass carriage. This luxury train makes sightseeing a priority and provides opportunities from every angle - including from an open-air viewing platform.

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

Dinner is served at your seat, meaning you never miss a moment of grandeur as the train crosses the Colorado border and head toward Glenwood Springs, where you stay for the night. As the train pulls into the station, you are transferred to the hotel, where you have a free evening to soak up the new scenery. Overnight Glenwood Springs.

 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 views surrounding. Tilt your head back to see the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies through the glass roof, or step outside to breathe in the fresh mountain air. In your carriage, 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 the capital city, where your journey comes to a close upon arriving at Denver's historic Union Station.
