Train Tour: Rocky Mountaineer

As of 2021, the Canadian railway company Rocky Mountaineer debuted its first ever route into the US. The Rockies to Red Rocks, which is a two-day journey between Denver and Moab, also includes an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

The glass-domed cars provide passengers with extraordinary views of the rivers, mountains, canyons, and hoodoos along the voyage. Travelers get to enjoy multi-course meals, either in their private seats or the train tour’s dining room, depending on the tickets purchased.

And for those who want to book the higher class of service, SilverLeaf Plus, there’s also a lounge area on the train with a bar and a deluxe outdoor observation deck.

    1. Me too! It sounds like so much fun. I live in Knoxville and I think this would be a great way to see south-east Tennessee without having to drive.

  1. I really like the one on the Train Tours a lot. I also like the Route 66 as I love all of the U. S. History.

    1. Hello! Thank you so much for all of your interest. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to help you book any tours on these wonderful trains because we aren’t a travel agency.

Thank you for understanding, and we apologize for any confusion.

    I live in Austin Texas and raising my 13 year old grandson. I have never ridden a train a long distance and would love for both he and I to have that experience. What suggestions would you make for our experience to be enjoyable?

    1. Hello Geraldine! Considering there are MANY beautiful options in the US, we recommend choosing a train tour that best suits your needs and interests. But no matter which one you pick, be sure to check the weather forecast during that time period as to avoid any unpleasant surprises. We hope you and your grandson have a fun trip!

    1. Hello Katalin! Thank you for your interest. Your best option would be to check with the Amtrak website to view their schedules and packages.

  9. Would love more info on Carolina/ Tennessee for a start. Should have done the train rides across this country years ago.

    The Mount Washington Cog sounds like an amazing idea for my upcoming Birthday on December 9. Please send pricing information. Thanks

    1. It is not likely that the cog railway will run on December 9th as the summit of Mt. Washington, which has recorded the lowest temps and highest wind velocity in the continental US. It s possible to hike it in December, but you must be very experienced, well equipped, and have experienced artic-weather hikers with you, have satelite radios and the good sense to TURN BACK when the weather worsens. There have been several deaths on that mountain this winter alone, and near 200 in all have perished there over the years.

    I like the the Rockies but what I want to know do you have a train tour for the fall foliage from New York to Maine this is what I’ll like to do and go please let me know thank you

  12. 1) Rocky Mountaineer!! We did a trip from Banff National Park to Vancouver. We departed th train in Jasper, stayed overnight and then took a bus trip from Jasper to Banff. Made stops along the way including Lake Louise in Alberta. Was an unforgettable experience!!
    2) The cog train on Mt Washington was also great. The train was fun and when we arrived on the top of the mountain it was a windy experience. Be sure to bring someone to hang on to

  13. Marianne Anderson

    Very interested in the Denver to Moab trip. Please provide additional information on pricing and availability.

  14. Marianne Anderson

    Very interested in receiving more information about the Rocky Mountaineer trip. Include pricing and availability.

    Great tours but you missed two. Both are steam narrow gauge, one in S.E. Colorado, the other in S.W. Colorado. The Cumbres and Toltec in the East, the Durango and Silverton in the West.

    Both are usually day-long. Absolute tremendous scenery.

    Dick

  16. I would Like more info about, The tours at the Incline Railway to Lookout Mountain, the Summerville Steam Special of the Tennessee Valley Railroad, and the Tuckasegee Steam Train of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. where to get them and where they are located.
