Speaking on Business: Canyon Spirit

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Canyon Spirit delivers elevated rail journeys through the American Southwest, creating opportunities for travelers to slow down, take in the scenery and experience destinations in a more meaningful way. Guest Experience Manager, Clarisa Santos, joins us with more. Clarisa Santos: Canyon Spirit represents the next chapter of the two-day Rockies to the Red Rocks rail journey connecting Utah and Colorado, which launched in 2021 under Rocky Mountaineer. Canyon Spirit is part of the Armstrong Collective family of travel experiences. It builds on a proven legacy of delivering unforgettable journeys that immerse guests in the world around them. In 2026, Canyon Spirit expanded its route to Salt Lake City, introducing a new three-day journey. It gives guests the flexibility to begin or end their adventure in Utah's capital city. Across Utah, Canyon Spirit partners with local hotels, tour operators, restaurants and other businesses to enhance the guest experience. This includes an overnight stay in Moab, giving guests time to explore the community and experience the iconic destination beyond the train. Through breathtaking scenery, authentic storytelling and exceptional service, Canyon Spirit offers a deeper connection to the landscapes, cultures and communities that make the region so remarkable. Derek Miller: With its expanded Utah route, Canyon Spirit is creating new opportunities for tourism, hospitality and local businesses while introducing travelers from around the world to Utah's unique destinations.
