Embark on the Canyon Spirit three-day journey from Denver to Salt Lake City, a relaxed, daylight-only rail adventure showcasing the dramatic transition from the Colorado Rockies to Utah’s red-rock deserts and mountain passes.
Day 1 departs Denver and climbs through the Front Range and the Continental Divide, following the Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon to an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs. Day 2 continues toward Moab, passing the Book Cliffs and striking sandstone landscapes, arriving in the afternoon with time to explore the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Day 3 travels north through Utah, climbing scenic corridors such as Price River Canyon and Soldier Summit before descending through the Wasatch Range to Salt Lake City.
Throughout the journey, guests travel in glass-domed coaches with panoramic views, enjoy chef-prepared breakfasts and lunches served onboard along with snacks and complimentary beverages, and benefit from attentive hosts who share stories about the region’s history, wildlife, and geology. Overnight hotel accommodation in Glenwood Springs and Moab is included and allocated by Canyon Spirit.
