In a significant rebranding move, the Rocky Mountaineer train service has officially transitioned to the new identity of Canyon Spirit. This change comes as the service continues to offer scenic adventures through the breathtaking landscapes of the American Southwest, having operated under the Rocky Mountaineer brand since 2021.
Exciting Route Expansion to Salt Lake City
Starting in 2026, Canyon Spirit will enhance its popular Rockies to the Red Rocks route by adding a new connection to Salt Lake City, Utah. This new three-day journey will link Denver, Colorado with Salt Lake City, providing travelers with an unforgettable experience that showcases the stunning vistas and unique geography of the region.
Scenic Itinerary Overview
The expanded itinerary includes overnight stops in the charming towns of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and Moab, Utah. Each leg of the journey promises striking natural beauty, from the mountain passes of eastern Utah to the expansive views of the Great Basin. This addition complements the existing two-day Rockies to the Red Rocks route, which operates solely between Denver and Moab, enhancing the overall travel experience.
Discover the Beauty of the American Southwest
Canyon Spirit embodies the awe-inspiring landscapes that define the American Southwest, characterized by rugged river canyons, iconic red rock formations, and the scenic Colorado River. The train experience is designed to immerse passengers in the natural beauty of the area, providing ample opportunities for breathtaking views and memorable moments.
Commitment to Quality Service
Tristan Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Collective, the parent company of Canyon Spirit, expressed enthusiasm about the new development: “We could not be more excited to bring our Canyon Spirit train to Salt Lake City, and to expand our Rockies to the Red Rocks route further into the beautiful state of Utah.” Armstrong reassured guests that despite the name change, the outstanding service and onboard experiences travelers have come to expect will remain unchanged.
As Canyon Spirit prepares for this transition, it looks forward to welcoming new and returning guests from across the United States and around the globe to experience the stunning beauty of the American Southwest.
