Rocky Mountaineer extends the inaugural season of Rockies to the Red Rocks route

The luxury train company is extending the inaugural season of its new route in the United States, Rockies to the Red Rocks, by four weeks.

“We have high hopes for the preview season of our newest rail route in the Southwest USA, Rockies to the Red Rocks, said Peter Armstrong, founder and interim CEO, of Rocky Mountaineer. “We are seeing a strong interest from travellers with some high-demand dates nearing capacity, and signs are pointing to a strong U.S. domestic travel season for the year ahead,” said Armstrong. “After the challenges of the past year, we truly appreciate the support and interest we are receiving for this route. We are adding more departure dates for 2021 and adding rail cars to each departure, so we can host even more guests throughout the preview season.”

Rockies to the Red Rocks is a two-day train journey between Moab, Utah, and Denver, Colorado, with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The preview season for the route starts on August 15, 2021 and, with the extension, will run until November 19, 2021. With some departure dates nearing capacity, Rocky Mountaineer is adding rail cars to increase the guest capacity on all dates and adding 16 new departure dates to the preview season.
