Rocky Mountaineer Train

 The Rocky Mountaineer Train Company in Vancouver, Canada, now has its first scenic route in the United States. It is called Rockies to the Red Rocks, and, Trish and I are in the middle of this eight day trip.


We boarded this magical first class train in Denver, Colorado, and were immediately served breakfast, our first of constant feeding throughout the day! We headed up from Denver over the Continental Divide through the Moffatt Tunnel (fifteen minutes through the tunnel on the train) and began to follow the very beginnings of the baby Colorado River.


Our cars have giant windows and the whole world comes inside as we make our way through a total of forty tunnels.  At the end of the day we stop for the night in Glenwood Springs where Trish and I relax in the Hot Springs before sleep.  Next morning we are on our way again.


Our destination today is Moab, Utah, where we have a three day layover so we can explore Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and all that is around there.


This is such a lovely and smooth ride.  The Rocky Mountaineer people take perfect care of us.  The trip is already worth our taking and we keep looking forward to all that is coming.
