See the Unseen West

Like Rocky Mountaineer's Canadian rail routes, the Rockies to the Red Rocks route is steeped in history and full of opportunities to explore the magnificent scenery and iconic destinations of the region. This route brings the Rocky Mountaineer experience, including access to incredible landscapes, exceptional hospitality and regionally-inspired gourmet meals, to the American Southwest.

The journey will put you in the heart of stunning scenery and is filled with highlights best seen from the comfort of expansive glass-dome trains. Natural archways and chromatic deserts are just the beginning. The train winds alongside rivers, through mountain ranges and past ancient rock canyons as it travels between the mile-high city of Denver and the red rock formations of Moab.

Ask your AAA Travel Agent about available packages.

Day 1: Moab to Glenwood Springs

As you begin your journey, enjoy dinner and a beverage while taking in the scenic views of Mount Garfield and the stunning rock formations lining the cliffs in Ruby Canyon.

Then celebrate crossing the continental divide with a sparkling wine toast while cutting through 6.3 miles of mountain in Moffatt Tunnel. Enjoy a three-course regionally-inspired lunch as Hosts captivate you with stories of the region as you take in the views of picturesque Byers Canyon and Gore Canyon.
