All about Rocky Mountaineer

Everything you need to know about booking a Rocky Mountaineer USA holiday with Wendy Wu Tours.

Where does the Rocky Mountaineer go in the U

The iconic Rocky Mountaineer train is best known for its awe-inspiring journeys through Western Canada, but in 2021 this iconic train launched a brand new route in the USA.

Riding the Rocky Mountaineer is the perfect way to appreciate the ever changing landscape in the Southwest USA as you spend two days onboard the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train. Choose to depart from Moab or Denver with an overnight hotel stop in Glenwood Springs and admire vast canyons, inspiring deserts, natural archways, and enchanting hoodoos on this unforgettable journey.

Can you hop on and off?

The Rocky Mountaineer doesn't stop in every town it passes through. You'll be able to admire the scenery during your journey from the large panoramic windows, and your host will provide informative commentary along the way. You'll also have free time to explore the towns you spend the night in, and full days of sightseeing on some tours.

Will I have a National Escort with me?

There is no National Escort on our Rocky Mountaineer tours, however, you will be taken care of and guided by the incredible Rocky Mountaineer staff throughout your holiday. The onboard hosts and guides will ensure that your journey is fascinating and informative. Departure times, arrangements and sightseeing opportunities will be communicated throughout your tour, and you are free to ask any questions at any time.

Are meals included?

Your breakfast and lunch are included whilst aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. Once you disembark in the evening and on sightseeing days, you'll be free to sample one of the USA's most exciting offerings - the food! From small family-owned diners and the big chains you've seen in movies to boutique and high-end restaurants serving incredible fare, you certainly won't be short on options!

When does the Rocky Mountaineer run?

The Rocky Mountaineer is in operation between April and October with twice-weekly departures.

In late spring, you'll experience cooler temperatures - perfect for exploring! This is also when you can witness the flowers blooming (even in the desert) and rushing rivers and waterfalls thanks to the melting snow.
Summer can be very hot in the desert (motorcoaches and train coaches are air-conditioned) - it will be slightly cooler, and exceptionally beautiful in the mountains as the landscapes come to life.
Early autumn sees the leaves beginning to change colours - a spectacular thing to see. It's also cooler across the Southwest so great for getting around.
