What It's Like to Ride Canyon Spirit's 3-day Journey Through the American Southwest

"A luxury rail experience that expands into a three-day itinerary beginning in 2026, linking Utah to Denver with weekly departures and pricing that includes overnight hotel stays in Moab and Glenwood Springs. Guests travel in panoramic glass‑domed coaches with open‑air vestibules and an optional lounge car for premier upgrade passengers, while attentive onboard hosts provide storytelling, land acknowledgments, and regional interpretation. The trip emphasizes effortless travel—luggage is transferred to hotels and hotel key cards are handed out on the train—and thoughtful accessibility with a platform lift, a specially designed aisle wheelchair, and an onboard accessible restroom. Culinary offerings are regionally inspired and locally sourced (from welcome mimosas and Utah scones to seared beef tenderloin, Baja prawn Cobb, pulled‑pork tacos with pickled cactus, seasonal desserts, and coffee and pastries from Denver partners), with sustainability practices like composting and data‑driven provisioning to limit waste. The route is curated for scenery—trains average a relaxed pace, slow for dramatic vistas, and allow customizable excursions at stops—creating a comfortable, immersive way to experience the landscape, history, and culture of the American Southwest." - Travel + Leisure Editors
