Canyon Spirit is the Gateway to National Parks

Renowned for its breathtaking night skies, Moab serves as the perfect gateway to Utah’s iconic geological marvels. With endless opportunities for outdoor recreation to suit adventurers of all kinds, this lively desert town’s proximity to national parks is unmatched. Plus, Downtown Moab features a choice of unique boutiques and a diverse dining scene, rich in local culture.

“Canyon Spirit is a must-do travel experience that offers unparalleled journeys in our spacious glass-dome trains thanks to the incredible natural scenery, delicious cuisine, attentive service, and friendly, social atmosphere,” said Zach Lucas, Canyon Spirit Train Manager. “Our trains pass through many areas that aren’t accessible by car, offering an unrivalled view of the scenery. This includes passing through deep canyons, traveling alongside rushing rivers, and crossing the continental divide in the Rocky Mountains. Our trains travel only during the day, with overnight hotel stays in mid-point destinations, so guests do not miss a moment of the ever-changing landscapes through the oversized train windows.”
