Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. If you don't see the information you need below, please contact one of our expert Vacation Consultants.

Our train does not have sleeper cars. As a daylight only train, you will spend your days on the train and spend your night(s) between train days in a comfortable hotel. This way, you will not miss a moment of the stunning scenery along your journey.  

No, but the train slows down at particularly scenic locations to ensure you have time for photographs.  

When you check in, you will receive your pre-assigned seat and details of your mid-rail journey overnight accommodation in Glenwood Springs, and for three-day rail guests, accommodations in Moab as well. If you have a special seating request, such as sitting near a friend who has booked separately, please advise us at least 45 days in advance. Please note: we are unable to accommodate specific seat or coach requests.  

Our onboard menu will have a selection of options to cater to various tastes and requirements. If you have a specific dietary requirement, either an allergy or restriction, please inform us directly or through your travel professional at least 60 days prior to the train departure. 

Onboard train gratuities are included in prices. Gratuities are not included for driver guides, tour escorts, or porterage for hotels booked through Canyon Spirit. If you are traveling on an organized tour, you may want to check with your Tour Director to confirm if gratuities have been included in your tour itinerary.  
 

One of the advantages of train travel is the spacious room afforded to all guests. We allow safe movement through your own coach, including an outdoor viewing area known as a vestibule, to enjoy fresh air, that is accessible only to guests in your coach. Guests who have selected our Premier upgrade have access to the lounge car which offers an additional space to enjoy.  

All pets or animals (excluding qualified service animals) are prohibited from traveling onboard Canyon Spirit. If you wish to travel with your service animal, please notify us or your travel professional at the time of booking, or a minimum of 60 days prior to commencing travel with Canyon Spirit.
