From the visionaries behind Rocky Mountaineer, Canyon Spirit is a new, elevated train journey that embraces the American Southwest. A chance to immerse yourself in the ever-changing landscapes, rivers and surrounding deserts at a slower pace, sit back and relax under the glass-dome windows, whether appreciating the alpine terrain, following the curves of the river or aweing at vast red rock canyons.
Onboard is just as impressive as the landscape, with a firm focus on comfort and service. Regionally inspired meals are served by a team of attentive hosts through a series of spacious carriages to deliver an incredible atmosphere inside that perfectly matches the amazing scenery passing by.
Combine an amazing rail journey that includes overnights in Glenwood Springs and Moab with stays in Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon and Denver and you have a truly unforgettable journey. Discover all the details below, plus our latest offer details!
