Rockies to Red Rocks

Rocky Mountaineer is a world-renowned luxury travel company known for its glass-domed trains through the Canadian Rockies. It’s not just any train, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime leisure experience. This year, for the first time, there will be a train route in the United States—and it happens to be here in Colorado.

This new route, called “Rockies to the Red Rocks,” will travel between Denver and Moab, Utah, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs. You’ll listen to vibrant storytelling and enjoy regionally inspired cuisine, all while taking in the spectacular views through a glass-dome coach. The train’s slow pace at 30 mph lets you soak in the scenery from every angle, from the majestic Rockies to the vast canyons and deserts. You might even spot some wildlife along the way. Choose from SilverLeaf or SilverLeaf Plus service, an option to enhance your onboard experience, with exclusive access to a newly renovated lounge car, additional courses during select meals, and premium beverages.

You’ll want to hurry on making reservations, as space is filling up quickly! Trains are departing Aug. 15 to Oct. 23, 2021, with 1- to 7-night itineraries available. Visit AAA.com/Travel, or speak with your AAA Travel Expert for more information and to book your trip.
