Onboard Canyon Spirit, your customers will discover the awe-inspiring sights between Denver and Moab, with a mid-journey stop in delightful Glenwood Springs.

The dramatic scenery on the route ranges from the vigour of gushing rivers to the stillness of breathtaking canyons. Beyond the rail adventure, this two-day itinerary provides your customers the opportunity to extend their stay in Moab to further explore Utah’s natural playground – the Mighty 5 national parks.

Three-Day Rail Journey

DENVER • GLENWOOD SPRINGS • MOAB • SALT LAKE CITY
Building on the epic Denver to Moab itinerary, this three-day option includes an additional travel day by rail spent soaking in the splendour of Utah’s hidden gems between Moab and Salt Lake City.
