Getting To/From Moab:
Moab can be a tricky place to get to/from as it doesn’t have an international airport. Depending on the direction you choose to travel on the train, one way will be covered by the Rocky Mountaineer but the other will need to be organized by you if you are not traveling on one of our tour packages ending in Las Vegas or Salt Lake City. If you prefer to take the train in both directions, the 8 Day Denver Return Journey is a great option that allows for plenty of free time to explore Moab on your own.
Moab Flights:
The easiest solution is to fly to/from Canyonlands Field Airport which is located 20 minutes outside of Moab. This airport offers daily flights to Phoenix which has an international airport to connect through.
If you prefer to return to Denver, the Grand Junction Regional Airport offers flights to Denver as well as some other locations throughout the US such as Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orange County-Santa Ana, Phoenix, and San Franciso. The Grand Junction airport is approximately a 2-hour drive away from Moab. For transportation to this location, you may try a one-way car rental, or contact Moab Express for their shuttle options.
