Rocky Mountaineer has announced its luxury train journey is coming to the Southwest United States in 2021.

Available for booking beginning in October, the all-American Rocky Mountaineer train journey will take passengers through some of the most scenic U.S. landscapes between Denver, Colorado and Moab, Utah — making Rocky Mountaineer the first passenger train to take guests directly to Moab.

Taking into consideration evolving travel restrictions, Rocky Mountaineer is making it easier and more flexible than ever to book the new route in advance, with only a $25 USD refundable deposit.
