Dream Bound Travel by Helen

So a few people have asked me what I liked most about our recent trip on Canyon Spirit. I guess the biggest thing was it was actually a relaxing trip. While we were on the train, we went at a leisurely pace- most of the time around 30-35 miles per hour. You were able to get up and move around. The seats were comfortable and very spacious. We did the Salt Lake to Denver trip (they have a Denver to Salt Lake also). The colors of Utah were amazing and different from Colorado. Our hosts on board pointed out key sites along the way, with stories about Butch Cassidy and others that used to roam those parts. We did not do an excursion in Moab and I regret that now but still enjoyed the town with new friends we met on the trip. Overall, I wouldn’t change anything- from arriving two days before we boarded the train in Salt Lake to the extra day in Denver. I would be happy to share more if interested.

My personal take on Salt Lake City: while it was our first time here and only had one full day, I must say the section we were in felt very safe. It was a clean city as far as cities go with lots of history. I wish we had another day to explore. We did a city tour to get an idea of what it is like which was informative and helpful. We discovered free rail service for a section we were in which was able to get us from one end of the city to the next. They will be hosting the Winter Olympics again in 2028. Anyone want to go? I can hook you up 😊

After a rocky start getting our trip started (flight delays in Philadelphia and Denver) we arrived at our hotel at midnight. Staying at the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Today we toured the city because we had never been here. We learned a lot of history and saw some beautiful scenery. Tomorrow we are off to Moab. Picture to follow.
