Starting in 2026, Rocky Mountaineer is beefing up its American route with a major update. The company will rebrand the route as “Canyon Spirit” and extend the two-day trial from Denver to Moab. This new route will continue to Salt Lake City, which will target a wider range of travelers.
New Experiences and Luxury Accommodation
Canyon Spirit will take the journey to the next level. Currently, a scenic cruise with overnight accommodations in Glenwood Springs is offered, but by 2026, travelers will be staying in Moab to enjoy Utah’s stunning natural beauty. This innovation aims to attract more travelers, and Salt Lake City’s international airport access will connect the route to global destinations.
Throughout the train journey, Utah’s breathtaking views and comfortable onboard experience will create unforgettable memories for travelers, and the Denver-Moab route still offers an appealing option for train travel enthusiasts.
Canyon Spirit: New Identity and Expanding Travel Network
Tristan Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Collective, announced the importance of the new brand and emphasized that the same high-quality service will continue to be delivered through the luxury experience of Canyon Spirit. The announcement, made on March 18, effectively introduced the combined brand of Rocky Mountaineer and Canyon Spirit.
The addition of Salt Lake City promises to significantly increase bookings and is a key part of the company’s growth plans. This new focus will strengthen the company’s presence in the high-demand U.S. market.
One Step Forward: The Rising Power of Canyon Spirit
Rocky Mountaineer aims to set a new standard for travelers seeking comfort and luxury on long journeys with Canyon Spirit. The Canadian-based operator is known worldwide for its world-class train journeys, and this new update continues the brand’s legacy.
Experts believe that with the rebranding and route expansion, Canyon Spirit will gain more market power and this expansion will solidify its leadership position in the luxury rail travel sector.
Access and Adventure for More Travelers by 2026
In 2026, passengers will be able to set off on the Canyon Spirit to explore the American West. The combination of luxury travel and natural beauty will offer a new experience on this rail route. This development will allow Rocky Mountaineer to attract more travelers, and the popularity of the new route will further strengthen the company in the market.
Canyon Spirit invites travelers and nature lovers to experience the wonders of the Rockies and Red Rocks. Travelers seeking both adventure and luxury will make unforgettable memories on this unique train journey.
