Train travel holds a treasured place in U.S. history. After all, the railroad helped build this country’s westward expansion, bringing to life communities on the plains and the deserts of the American West. Rail travel is an integral part of our past, yet it has all but disappeared in many areas.
Happily, Rocky Mountaineer has brought luxury rail travel back to the American Southwest. The Canadian company, known for its scenic rail packages in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, opened a new rail journey in August between Moab, Utah, and Denver, Colorado.
