City sightseeing & a drive along Denver's foothills
Guided sightseeing in Colorado's Mile High City includes an expert overview of its more notable sites, dating back to the Old West era. See the 19th century buildings that line Larimer Square, the city's oldest block; pass by the Denver Mint, the State Capitol and more, before taking a drive along the foothills to discover the legends and lifestyle that have made Denver one of the fastest growing cities in the US. A visit to Lookout Mountain this afternoon invites with its stunning panoramic views and time to visit the Buffalo Bill Museum and gravesite. Return to your hotel for time at leisure to enjoy as you like.
All aboard Canyon Spirit
It's all aboard Canyon Spirit this morning for a head-turning rail journey from Denver to Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Head into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, first climbing the steep grade and contour of the Big Ten Curve. The terrain you will see today is varied with river views, deep rugged canyons, ranch life and engineering marvels. As the train approaches the Continental Divide, the train will go under the mountainous terrain through the legendary 6.2-mile-long Moffat Tunnel. A National Engineering Landmark built by the Moffat Railroad, it was the longest tunnel in the Western Hemisphere when it was completed in 1927. The train will transit numerous tunnels along the route before it arrives in Glenwood Springs, a quintessential mountain town with historic hot springs. Lunch onboard is a special treat and is brought right to your seat as you sit back and enjoy the views from the panoramic windows of your coach, recalling a bygone era of opulent train travel with its pampering Silver Leaf Plus service. Disembark for an overnight stay at a historic hotel in Glenwood Springs, located in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The site of the world's largest mineral hot springs pool, the thermal waters of this town have been enticing visitors since 1888.
Onward to Moab
Depart early this morning from the historic depot in Glenwood Springs aboard Canyon Spirit, following the route of the Colorado River across the Grand Valley of Western Colorado and into Utah. See the landscape change as it opens up into the vast desert vistas that are famous the world over. The train winds its way through crimson-colored sandstone to reveal a visible geologic timeline that is older than the dinosaurs as it weaves through Ruby Canyon and on to Moab. Moab is home to two national parks, Arches and Canyonlands, renowned for their unrivaled geologic wonders. Disembark the train in Moab and head to your hotel for the next three nights - the Hilton Hoodoo Moab. Dinner tonight is at leisure at the hotel.
Flightseeing over Canyonlands National Park
The largest national park in Utah with 527 square miles of rugged landscapes, Canyonlands staggers the imagination. The sights you will see here, flat-topped mesas, towering rock pinnacles, arches, buttes and crevassed canyons, were formed by water, meticulously carved by Colorado River and its equally talented tributaries. View them by air this morning as you embark on an eye-opening flightseeing excursion that takes in its grand geologic diversity. Back on land, you'll have time at leisure to enjoy and explore Moab on your own before heading out to Canyonlands National Park for a grounded, sightseeing experience. Dinner tonight will be at your leisure in Moab.
Arches National Park
This morning, explore Arches National Park. Pause along the way for short walks and up-close views of sandstone sculptures posed in time, from red-hued arches to giant balancing Rocks. There are some 2,000 natural stone arches in the park, along with soaring pinnacles and massive fins. Back in Moab, off-road on a 4x4 Hummer tour; your experienced driver will take you slowly through the scenic (and bumpy!) outdoor terrain. Dinner tonight is on your own in Moab.
Salt Lake City
Depart Moab this morning en route to the final stop of your American West adventure - Salt Lake City (albeit with a quick pitstop in Helper for lunch and free time). Home to five national parks, the Great Salt Lake, and what many call "the greatest snow on Earth," Utah is a haven for nature lovers. Explore its urban heart on a guided sightseeing tour of Salt Lake City, where you'll delve into the city's fascinating cultural heritage, shaped by its Mormon pioneers, and visit some of its most iconic landmarks such as the State Capitol building and the Temple Square. Tonight, join your fellow travelers for a farewell reception and dinner, as your journey comes to a close and (metaphorically) arrives at the station.
Journey Home
Tour ends: Salt Lake City. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from the Grand America Hotel to Salt Lake City International Airport. Allow two hours for flight check in at the airport.
