Moab Adventure Center and Rocky Mountaineer Partner-Up to Serve Rockies to Red Rocks Rail Passengers

MOAB, Utah - June 28, 2022 - PRLog -- Moab Adventure Center is the go-to resource for all outdoor fun in the red rock playground of Moab, Utah. In late spring, Moab Adventure Center announced a partnership with the Canadian company, Rocky Mountaineer (https://www.rockymountaineer.com/2023-all-aboard), to host train passengers on guided activities while in Moab.

Through years of negotiation and coordination by Rocky Mountaineer, local businesses and authorities, this is the first-ever passenger rail service to run directly into Moab. The train utilizes the Kane Creek Line rail spur created for the mining industry in Moab. Historically, passenger rail only came within 52 miles of Moab to Green River, but the Kane Creek Line allows train service from Denver through Moab and onward. Rocky Mountaineer launched a preview season of their Rockies to the Red Rocks (https://www.rockymountaineer.com/train-routes/rockies-red-rocks) passenger route in 2021; 2022 is the first full season of Rocky Mountaineer's only U.S. route -- and guests are loving it.

The itinerary includes overnight stays in Moab at Hyatt Place and Hoodoo Moab by Hilton. The company's signature glass-domed trains are scheduled for weekly departures on Monday and Thursday. The season for the train began in mid-April and will continue through the end of October 2022.  Rail packages begin from $1375 pp USD.

Moab Adventure Center is providing a centralized guest meeting center at its downtown Moab headquarters. Here the staff assists passengers in selecting from its menu of fun-filled ways to explore Moab. These include rafting in Moab (https://www.moabadventurecenter.com/moab-river-rafting), Arches National Park tours (https://www.moabadventurecenter.com/arches-national-park-tours) and Off-Road Hummer tours (https://www.moabadventurecenter.com/moab-hummer-tours). Passengers are also invited to pre-book these tours or reserve their spaces upon arrival if seats are still available.

"We anticipate that most train guests will arrange to spend one or two extra days in Moab on the front or the back end of their train journey," said Matthew Jaureguy, Moab Station Manager. The partnership projects 9,000 passengers will enjoy this service in 2022 (up from 7,000 in 2021) and that 50 percent of sales will be generated by travel agents/advisors.

Rocky Mountaineer https://www.rockymountaineer.com/ has a reputation for top-of-its-class luxury rail journeys. Instead of sleeping on the train, the company arranges for guests to overnight at select hotels enroute so they do not miss a moment of the ever-changing landscapes through oversized train windows.
