Great Western Vistas: Journey INTO the Soul of the Southwest
An intimate railway experience through some of America’s most hallowed natural terrains.
This journey moves gently through the great sculpted spaces of the American Southwest, where color, light, sounds and serenity forge the very land itself. From the vast, horizonless expanse of the Grand Canyon to the flowing sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon, each day reveals a different expression of terrain and time. The trip unfolds at an unhurried pace and in small, intimate group tours. In Bryce Canyon National Park, spires of stone rise like a quiet procession; in Zion National Park, cliffs glow in the shifting desert light. Between them, scenic rail journeys and open-road passages offer moments to simply watch the land pass by.
