If you’ve traveled with Rocky Mountaineer before, you already know the magic of seeing inspiring landscapes unfold on a luxury train adventure. Canyon Spirit, part of the Rocky Mountaineer family, gives you even more reasons to return in 2027 — with exclusive savings for past guests, special AAA member benefits, twice the capacity and new ways to experience the American Southwest.
Journey from the Rockies to the Red Rocks as dramatic canyons, towering mountains and vibrant desert surroundings fill the windows. Whether you’re returning to a favorite route or discovering the region by rail for the first time, 2027 offers a fresh perspective on one of America’s most spectacular places.
A Reason to Travel Again
When booking a qualifying package, the 2027 Travel Again offer rewards past Rocky Mountaineer and Canyon Spirit guests with the highest-value savings available.
Past guests can save $2,000 per couple when booking a qualifying Canyon Spirit package with Premier Upgrade, or $1,500 per couple with Signature Experience.
For those who have experienced Rocky Mountaineer through the Canadian Rockies, Canyon Spirit offers a new journey with some familiar elements. Daylight rail travel keeps the destination and scenery at the heart of the experience, while attentive onboard service and regionally inspired dining provide a comfortable way to take it all in.
This time, the backdrop is the American Southwest.
The Travel Again offer applies to new 2027 bookings on qualifying Canyon Spirit packages. Two-day and three-day rail-only bookings are excluded from the promotion.
Even More Value for AAA Members
AAA members have another reason to experience Canyon Spirit in 2027: exclusive benefits when booking a qualifying package.
Members save $200 per couple on Signature Experience or $250 per couple on Premier Upgrade. The AAA member benefit is combinable with Canyon Spirit in-market offers, creating an opportunity for even greater value on a 2027 journey.
For past Rocky Mountaineer guests who are also AAA members, the perks add up.

More Opportunities to Experience Canyon Spirit
Canyon Spirit is also growing for 2027, from one train to two. The expansion doubles capacity and creates significantly more opportunities to experience the Rockies to the Red Rocks itinerary throughout the season.
The route connects Colorado and Utah, with both two-day and three-day rail journey options.
On the two-day journey, guests travel between Denver and Moab, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, while the three-day option extends the journey between Denver and Salt Lake City, with overnight stays in Glenwood Springs and Moab.
Travelling during daylight hours allows the changing scenery to remain a central part of the journey. From Colorado’s mountain landscapes to the canyons and red-rock formations of Utah, Rockies to the Red Rocks offers a distinctly different setting from the Canadian Rockies.
More to Explore Beyond the Rails
For those looking to spend more time in the region, two extension packages offer ways to build on the Canyon Spirit experience.
The Moab Extension with National Parks adds more time in Utah, including sightseeing in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The experience brings travelers closer to the landscapes that define the region, from sandstone arches to expansive canyons and desert scenery.
Additional time in Moab complements Rockies to the Red Rocks, pairing the rail journey with an opportunity to experience one of its key destinations beyond the train.
The Glenwood Springs Extension with National Parks offers another way to spend more time exploring the region, building additional experiences around this memorable Colorado destination and the Canyon Spirit rail journey.

A Different Journey for 2027
For past Rocky Mountaineer guests, Canyon Spirit brings the signature experience of luxury rail travel to the dramatic landscapes of the American Southwest. For those new to the experience, 2027 brings twice the capacity and more ways to make the journey their own.
Choose between two- or three-days aboard Canyon Spirit. Extend the journey in Moab or Glenwood Springs. Explore some of the American Southwest’s celebrated national parks along the way.
With Travel Again savings of up to $2,000 per couple, exclusive AAA member benefits, twice the Canyon Spirit capacity in 2027 and more ways to explore beyond the rails, there are plenty of reasons to make Rockies to the Red Rocks part of your 2027 travel plans.
