Itinerary

Day 1 - Denver to Glenwood Springs

Arrive at Denver's train station, where your train, the  Rocky Mountaineer, awaits to escort you through the rugged landscape to Glenwood Springs. This luxury train makes sightseeing a priority and offers the chance to soak in the scenery from either the domed-glass sightseeing car or from open-air viewing pavilions. The natural beauty of Colorado envelopes the tracks as we travel deeper into the Rockies, passing through the Big Ten Curve, navigating past canyons and venturing through valleys. Take a break from gazing upon the landscape, and enjoy conversation and a delicious, chef-prepared lunch in the dining car. The train crosses the Continental Divide and passes the Colorado River before arriving in Glenwood Springs. On arrival, spend the rest of your day enjoying the hot springs or embarking on outdoor adventures. Overnight Glenwood Springs.

Day 2 - Glenwood Springs to Moab

Join the Rocky Mountaineer this morning to continue on your journey toward Moab, UT. The route today continues past famed mountain peaks and through Ruby Canyon on the Colorado-Utah border before the landscape changes once again and becomes more arid. Warm red hues overtake the scenery, and naturally carved sandstone rock formations come into view. As the train arrives in Moab - your gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks - this memorable adventure through the Rockies and Red Rocks concludes.

Beautiful trip. Incredibly fun and extremely knowledgeable team. Great service. Only complaint would be where to meet on day one and no one to greet us caused confusion among the guests. I’d use the fountain as a landmark.

Wonderful experience! Staff was extremely professional, friendly and informative. Food and drink were great, views along the way spectacular. Already recommending this trip to friends. I would suggest more information be provided to guests staying in Moab for a few days on options to get back to Denver. We ended up driving to Grand Junction to fly back to Denver. Again, great time.

Great product. Ride was wonderful. Our hosts and folks taking care of us on train were really great. We like that everything was taken care of. The hotels and overnight in Glenwood Springs were excellent. A nice town. The Crawford Hotel in Denver was way too expensive with all the add ons to the price. The Rocky Mountaineer should negotiate a lower fixed price. Thanks. We may do it again and possibly try the Canadian version in the future. Gary and Donna House

It was as luxurious and experience you could have on a train. Not sure if regular Silver was as nice. Being able to move around, meet people, take pictures. Being waited on with delicious food and drinks all included. Stop in Glenwood Springs was very interesting. The staff was excellent in every way. Danielle was very knowledgeable and informative. The scenery was beyond belief.
