Welcome aboard Canyon Spirit — a brand-new luxury rail journey travelling from Denver to Salt Lake City via Glenwood Springs and Moab, cutting straight through the heart of the American Southwest. This is Episode 5 (and the finale) of Luxury Trains Around the World – Season 1, and genuinely one of the most jaw-dropping train journeys we’ve ever experienced. Giant panoramic windows, red rock canyons, wildlife sightings, curated off-train experiences, and restaurant-level dining — all unfolding at a slow, cinematic pace. This journey was different to traditional sleeper trains — nights spent in beautiful hotels, days spent on the rails — giving the whole experience a prestige, once-in-a-lifetime feel. The scale of the landscapes out here is almost impossible to process; every curve felt bigger, redder, and more surreal than the last. 🚆 In this episode: • Boarding Canyon Spirit in Denver • Travelling through Colorado, Utah, and into Salt Lake City • Giant windows with nonstop canyon and desert views • Wildlife spotting from the lounge car (Bald eagles and Pronghorn!) • Whiskey tastings, mocktails, and outrageously good cheese boards • A full-day stop in Moab for Arches National Park • Hotel stays paired with daytime rail travel • Experiencing one of the most cinematic train routes we’ve ever filmed There’s something incredibly special about slowing down this way — letting the landscape come to you, one window at a time. This journey felt like a true milestone moment for us, and a perfect way to close out the season. ✨ About the Series Luxury Trains Around the World is our cinematic travel series exploring the world’s most iconic and unexpected luxury rail journeys — one country, one train, one episode at a time.

I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛 Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
