Guided Tour on the Canyon Spirit
From the bright lights and high rises of Las Vegas to the mountains of Denver via the stunning reds and amazing shapes of the Utah Desert combined with two days onboard the Canyon Spirit: this will be a journey to remember. Travel by coach through Bryce Canyon and on to Moab, then take the Canyon Spirit train for 2 days to Denver with an overnight in Glenwood Springs. Sandwiched with stays in Las Vegas and Denver, this is a great way to explore the American Southwest.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend the holiday or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
The Canyon Spirit
Following the phenomenal success of the Rocky Mountaineer in Canada, The Armstrong Collective now offer the Canyon Spirit in Colorado. The Canyon Spirit is a luxury train service that offers passengers a unique way to experience the American Southwest. The train travels through some of the most stunning scenery in the region, including the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River, and the red rock canyons of Utah.
The Canyon Spirit travels between Denver, Colorado, and Moab, Utah. The rail journey takes two days with an overnight in Glenwood Springs plus two in Moab, where we can organise an excursion for you by air, mountain bike, jetboat or vehicle.
All passengers receive the All-inclusive signature experience where you can sit in a single level dome car with panoramic windows where delicious meals and snacks will be delivered to your seat. You will be kept entertained and informed by three onboard hosts and you can access the Outdoor viewing area. For a small supplement, you can upgrade to Premier which will give you access to the lounge car, signature cocktails and premium alcoholic drinks, as well as an elevated dining experience with wine pairings and an additional host.
No matter which service level you choose, you are sure to enjoy the stunning scenery and the comfortable accommodations on the Canyon Spirit. The train hosts are friendly and attentive, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have about the journey.
This memorable journey can be added on to any itinerary starting or ending in Denver. There are also some escorted Canyon Spirit holidays linking the train with a bus excursion, starting in Salt Like City or Las Vegas.

J Smith - Travelled New York to TorontoI have just returned from a tailor made holiday made possible by Jeannette Dembrey. This was the first time I had ever organised such a major holiday and as it was a gift for my children after my retirement it was really important to get things right. I went to quite a few agencies but Jeannette was way better than any of the people who I spoke to. She was so professional and wanted me to get the best from the money I could afford. The holiday was absolutely amazing and everything went like clockwork. Jeannette had thought of everything even the connections between places and the things we would do in each town. We stayed in 6 hotels altogether starting in New York and ending in Toronto. I am amazed at how smoothly it went. Even my son who has travelled all over the world was impressed with the way things had been organised. I cannot praise Jeannette enough for her professionalism. Thank you Jeannette. I would recommend you to anyone with the satisfaction of knowing that you did an amazing job. Thank you.
