Rocky Mountaineer Launches Its First Luxury U.S. Train Route

Relish the romance of the West on a luxury train voyage with Rocky Mountaineer.

The romance of travel by train has returned to the American West. Rocky Mountaineer, known for its scenic rail routes in the Canadian Rockies, between Vancouver and Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, has launched its first luxury train route in the U.S.: a two-day journey between Denver and Moab with an overnight in Glenwood Springs. Traveling in custom-designed coaches with spacious, reclining seats, you’ll follow the Colorado River through a series of canyons with steep, rugged walls and across the Continental Divide. Utah’s desert landscape will unfold through the train’s expansive domed-glass windows that curve into the roof to reveal views of red sandstone arches and enchanting hoodoos. The onboard cuisine features regionally inspired dishes that showcase the ingredients and flavors of the Southwest, served to you in your seat so you don’t miss a moment of the ever-changing scenery. To level up your journey, add SilverLeaf Plus service, with crafted cocktails served in the lounge car and extra courses delivered at meals. The trip can be taken either eastbound or westbound, and if you want to explore Denver or Moab—or add excursions to Salt Lake or Las Vegas—travel specialists at Rocky Mountaineer can curate a custom package for you, complete with hotels, tours and activities.
