Take a sneak peek of the adventure that awaits you.......
Distance: 155 miles
Zion Canyon is one of southern Utah’s most astonishing natural wonders, surrounded by 7,000 feet of towering red and white cliffs, with the Virgin River slicing its way through the lush canyon floor. Explore further into this park and you’ll discover weeping rocks, tiny grottos, and hanging gardens. Look out for golden eagles, mule deer, and big horn sheep.
Distance: 85 miles
Bryce Canyon is home to the largest collection of hoodoos in the world. What's a hoodoo? We're glad you asked! They are geological wonders and you will be mesmerised by the number and unique shapes. Formed by erosion, they are spires of rock that are typically quite tall and thin,. with various degrees of thickness - almost resembling totem poles. The word hoodoo means bewitched and there are many legends within Native American culture about what they mean and represent.
Distance: 118 miles
In the heart of red rock country, you'll discover a wrinkle in the earth - Capitol Reef is home to Waterpocket Fold - an actual warp in the earth's crust which dates back over 65 million years! The park is a treasure trove of cliffs, canyons, domes, and bridges and thousands of photo opportunities.
Distance: 118 miles
With a few days to explore, you have plenty to discover. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are just a few of the incomprehensibly vast and stunning locations you'll visit.
Canyonlands National park is Utah's largest park and you'll discover seemingly endless deep canyons, towering mesas, pinnacles, cliffs, and spires stretching over 500 square miles. Equally as impressive, but on a smaller scale Dead Horse State Park. Don't be surprised if you have deja vu here as this area is featured heavily in the movie Thelma and Louise.
All aboard the Rocky Mountaineer! You’ll have an amazing day full of new sights, amazing food and incredible hospitality. The best bit? The train only operates daylight hours, so you won't miss a single thing.
Breakfast is served whilst you relax in leather reclining seats looking out through oversized glass-dome windows with panoramic views. Lunch, with local wines, will be served before you pull into the mountain resort town of Glenwood Springs. Famous for its hot springs, this is the place to pamper yourself with a soothing mineral soak!
Glenwood Springs has an eclectic culinary scene and only a short stroll from your hotel are plenty of spots if you need a little snack before bed. Western history buff? Amble over to Linwood cemetery where Doc Holiday, dentist turned gambler, turned gunslinger was buried when he died in Glenwood Springs of tuberculosis in 1887
Enjoy another sumptuous breakfast on the Rocky Mountaineer as you cross the Utah/Colorado border. You'll notice a stark difference in the scenery as your view changes from dramatic red rock to alpine. Just when you think the scenery can't get more impressive, it does!
You’ll soon discover, there is a lot more to Denver than an amazing backdrop. It is one impressive city, full of interesting neighbourhoods and people, must-do attractions and a superb array of year-round events.
The hip and historic district is found in lower downtown, referred to as LoDo, and has the country's highest concentration of Victorian buildings. It is also full of quirky shops, brewhouses, cafes and al fresco dining. Stroll around the museum of Contemporary Art or the Colorado History museum, visit the U.S. Mint or the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" House. Or, head for High Tea at the palatial Brown Palace Hotel. This gem of a hotel opened its doors in 1892 and has hosted countless Presidents and gold-hunters heading to seek their fortune in the mountains. Every month of the year, there are festivals and activities taking place - most open to the public and free of charge.
