The second route is Journey Through The Clouds, which heads from Vancouver to Kamloops to Jasper and through Jasper National Park. The third train journey is called Rainforest To Gold Rush, starting in Vancouver and trekking through Whistler, Quesnel, and Jasper National Park to Calgary.

The fourth and newest RM route, Rockies To The Red Rocks, is a two-day train trip spanning the unsurmountable scenery between Moab, Utah, Glenwood Springs, and Denver, Colorado. Red-rock deserts, wide stone arches, and majestic hoodoos peek at their faces as you cross one of the best views of the Continental Divide. Day One kicks off in Moab, where you check-in, meet your hosts and become accustomed to life on the Rocky Mountaineer Train.

Conversate over dinner with stunning mountain views as you traverse the sights of Mountain Garfield and Ruby Canyon before settling in for the night in the resort town of Glenwood Springs. Day two begins as you reboard the train and head east towards Denver, eating breakfast alongside the Colorado River. Before arriving in the Mile High City, the Rockies await as you cross the Continental Divide and enter the 6.3-mile Moffat Tunnel, a spectacular feat to engineering everywhere.

To make it even more convenient and accessible, all offered packages can be embarked from either direction with options to start or end in Denver, Moab, Las Vegas, or even Salt Lake City. With the new rail route, guests have the added option of purchasing the SilverLeaf Plus package, granting access to a newly-renovated lounge car with more space indoors and a quaint outdoor viewing platform for soaking in that fresh mountain air.
