Known for its luxury rail rides through Western Canada, Rocky Mountaineer recently introduced a route in the American Southwest providing tours between Moab, Utah and Denver, Colorado.  Making this the fourth offering of unforgettable rail routes.

All a perfect gateway to experience the most exclusive and stunning sights. Rocky Mountaineer travels by daylight, allowing guests to take in the breathing scenery and stay in a selection of high-quality hotels in the evenings.

RAIL ROUTES:

All four Rocky Mountaineer routes, have their own unique highlights and charm.

 First Passage to the West:  
Vancouver – Kamloops – Lake Louise / Banff
Travel back in time to the Wild West and watch it all from your luxurious time machine. History comes alive as you travel the rails that first united the nation more than a century ago, from the semi-arid desert to the Kicking Horse River and across the Continental Divide to Banff.

Journey through the Clouds:
Vancouver – Kamloops – Jasper
This route lives up to its romantic name. Weaving alongside the Fraser River and through craggy mountains, you will view the vast white expanse of the Albreda Glacier, rushing waters of Pyramid Falls, and towering Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.

Rainforest to Gold Rush: 
Vancouver – Whistler – Quesnel - Jasper
Recapture the romance of the Gold Rush era as you ascend through the rugged mountain terrain of Whistler, moving towards the old mining trail known as the Cariboo Wagon Road and historic Quesnel, the Gold Pan City, then onto Jasper, the quaint town nestled between the snow-capped Canadian Rockies.

Rockies to the Red Rocks:
Moab – Glenwood Springs - Denver
From red sandstone landscapes that twist through the bright blue sky, to chromatic deserts and vast canyons, this stunning rail route is filled with highlights best seen from the expansive glass-dome coaches. Witness the enchanting hoodoos, spires and spectacular landscapes while learning the history of the region. The two-day train journey travels between Moab, Utah and Denver, Colorado, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

WHY CHOOSE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER?

Mouth-Watering Cuisine
A journey onboard Rocky Mountaineer is a feast for the senses with gourmet cuisine accompanied by stunning scenery and award-winning service. The menu is inspired by the bounty of the passing regions, highlighting ingredients such as fresh salmon, prime beef, and local berries.

​

Front Row to Wildlife
Trains often travel in more remote areas—directly alongside the coast, through the mountains and into the forests. Rocky Mountaineer goes from sea to sky, cruising beside rivers and lakes, offering a front-row seat to all nature has to offer. The all-glass domed train cars, unique to Rocky Mountaineer, let you take in the soaring birds above, the big-horned sheep outside the window, and even maybe a grizzly bear fishing in a river below.

​

Connect with your surroundings
Nature is not the only thing you will connect with onboard Rocky Mountaineer. One aspect of rail travel that has captivated people for centuries is how a train uniquely allows you to connect deeply with travel companions and meet fellow travelers. That is especially true on Rocky Mountaineer, which draws guests from around the world and from all walks of life. It is that traveling by luxury train that harkens back to a friendlier time before smartphones and tablets when people would talk to pass the time or get lost in their thoughts and reconnect with themselves.

​

Destinations worth the journey
Although the train journey is the highlight of a trip, stopping in magical destinations is as important. The train weaves through a mix of cosmopolitan cities and small towns like Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Denver, and Moab. As the train travels during daylight only, every rail journey includes overnight accommodation at a mid-point destination.  After the perfect day on the train, with all senses stimulated, you will be ready to close your eyes and dream about all you have seen.
​

Sights Unseen
Part of our fascination with trains is their ability to go where cars and planes cannot, allowing you to see nature's most magnificent and otherwise off-limits wonders up close. Traveling by train allows you to notice the little things out your windows and adventure through tunnels, up mountains, and through woods in comfort.
