Indulge in the natural beauty of the Beehive State

Rocky Mountaineer is a Canadian-based luxury rail travel company founded in 1990. It’s best known for its daytime-only scenic train journeys that emphasize breathtaking landscapes, panoramic views through glass-domed coaches, high-quality meals, and storytelling by onboard hosts. In 2021, Rocky Mountaineer expanded beyond Canada with its first U.S. route: “Rockies to the Red Rocks” — a luxury scenic train service running between Denver, Colorado and Moab, Utah, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. In April 2026, the route will be extended to connect to Moah to Salt Lake City, Utah. For its U.S. operations, Rocky Mountaineer has rebranded the train experience as Canyon Spirit starting with the 2026 season. This reflects a strategic focus on the American Southwest landscapes and experiences, and shows how partnership with Canada brings investment into Utah.
