This is one reason why it is worth riding the Canyon Spirit at some point! Hard to beat views like this. The Canyon Spirit just came through the Moffat Tunnel, under the Continental Divide. The train is returning to Denver after its second round trip run between Denver and Salt Lake City and back. The train is on the main track at East Portal.
