Have you ever wondered what happens to our trains at night?
Showcasing all the scenery in the daylight isn’t the only reason our guests don’t sleep on the train. Our railyard teams work hard overnight to ensure that everything is clean and ready for the next day of travel.

How is this for a meal with a view?
Did you make any new friends while dining with other guests onboard our GoldLeaf Service?

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter in the Canadian Rockies!
Did you know that in early April and late September (at the start and end of our operating season), there is a chance to see snow-capped peaks in the Canadian Rockies?

Day two on the Rocky Mountaineer from Glenwood Springs to Moab 🚂
There are many things to love about this train, but the people are hands down the best!
You can tell they are intentional about everything from the effort in the “ALL ABOOOOARD” and the Destinations team waving goodbye, to Kendra whipping up some goodness in the kitchen and Olivia being our guide. My only regret is that I wish the ride was longer ❤️
I hope you enjoyed traveling with me on the Rocky Mountaineer! A train ride worthy of your bucket list ✨
All aboard the Rocky Mountaineer 🚂
The Rocky Mountaineer has been on my bucket list for years and it absolutely lived up to the hype!
From the food to the views to the staff service, I loved seeing all the canyons and landscapes. Here are some things to note about day one:
🚂 You can take this route in either direction, but I traveled westbound so the first day is 8 hours and you end in Glenwood Springs, Colorado
🚂 Train packages include all meals and unlimited drinks on the train (and an overnight hotel stay)
🚂 Scenery you’ll see includes Gross Reservoir, Gore Canyon, Burns Canyon, and gliding along the Colorado River
🚂 A Black history highlight? Riding past Lincoln Hills - the only leisure destination created by and for Black people West of the Mississippi in the 1920s
Come back tomorrow for day two on the train to Moab!

It’s #NationalCoffeeDay! Did you know that guests on our Canadian routes drink an average of 232,000 cups of coffee during a season?
What was your favourite beverage to sip on while enjoying the views?
Travelling by rail has always been a slower, more contemplative affair. These are journeys that invite us to slow down and focus — on enjoying, on living, on connecting. This is even more true in the autumn, as our train winds through seas of red and gold. 🍂

It’s #WorldTourismDay! Let us know your favourite destination on your Rocky Mountaineer journey!
Over the past week, we've been thrilled to bring guests to the award-winning Moab Music Festival on the first ever Sounds in the Southwest journey.
Combining intimate live music with awe-inspiring landscapes, guests were treated to four nights of performances in one-of-a-kind venues, like the stunning @redearthvenue. Surrounded by red rock cliffs and expansive deserts, this unique venue sits just outside Arches National Park on our Rockies to the Red Rocks route.

"For our Mother Daughter trip this year we decided to explore Colorado and Utah by train."
"For our Mother Daughter trip this year we decided to explore Colorado and Utah by train. Rocky Mountaineer exceeded our expectations! We started our trip in Denver CO, stopped and explored in Glenwood springs for the night. We board the train the next morning continued to Moab UT. The views were breathtaking, chef Rae made us mouth watering food, Tristian and Lacey kept us educated on our surroundings and well entertained. We could not have asked for a better trip or a better crew. We were sad to leave but so thankful for memories that will last a lifetime."
