Hop aboard the newly rebranded Canyon SpiritUSA

All aboard, train lovers, scenery junkies, and anyone who enjoys sipping wine while gliding through jaw-dropping landscapes without a care in the world. Say hello to Canyon Spirit, the fresh new identity of what was formerly Rocky Mountaineer’s U.S. operation. Same posh seats, same world-class service, just with a snazzier name and a longer itinerary. And boy, have they delivered.

Starting in 2026, Canyon Spirit’s Rockies to the Red Rocks route is getting a glow-up, extending all the way to Salt Lake City, Utah. That’s right: three days of red rocks, river canyons, and rugged beauty, punctuated by overnight stops in Glenwood Springs (hello, hot springs) and Moab (adventure capital of the Southwest).

Unless your usual commute includes a team of ultra-attentive hosts, riveting historic storytelling of Wild West lore and outlaw antics, and a menu packed with locally sourced delights paired with top-notch regional wines, this isn’t your typical train ride. From the Colorado River’s winding embrace to the vast Great Basin’s epic sprawl, this route is serving up nature’s greatest hits on a silver platter.

For just US$2,123 (plus tax), you can experience the Canyon Spirit magic, complete with overnight stays and enough scenic splendour to max out your camera roll (and make everyone super jealous back home). Book your seat now, because come April 21, 2026, the train is leaving the station - with or without you (but preferably with).
