I always find the idea of train travel somewhat exotic a romantic back to a more civilised era. Spread out. Kick back. Sleep. Eat. Refresh. Step off the train and leap into the sights and sounds of the American landscape, from great cities to quaint towns and amazing vistas. Amtrak brings them all to you in comfort and convenience. So, what are you waiting for? Hop aboard.
Explore
Create your very own great American adventure on Amtrak’s national network. Step right from the train and onto the sidewalks of big cities and small-towns. Tour historic landmarks and national parks. Visit museums and mountains; coastlines and concert halls. Savour regional cuisine and immerse yourself in local culture. Whatever moves you, Amtrak will get you there.
This journey will help you discover the joys of traveling again. Enjoy wide seats, plug-in power, big windows, and plenty of room to get up and stretch your legs. They even invite you to bring your bike, your board, or your small pet along for the ride. And they keep the extra fees to a bare minimum so you can save your money for the fun stuff.
Glide past — not above — amber waves of grain. Climb the magnificent Rockies and Sierra Nevadas and witness the power of the raging Colorado River. Cross the Continental Divide, travel through tunnels and canyons. Marvel at the vivid hues of Utah’s deserts. There is simply no better way to experience the true majesty of America than from the ground up on the Amtrak.
Explore the beautiful gardens and fountains of Temple Square, a three-block plaza anchored by the towering Salt Lake Temple.
Then head for the hills where winter or summer, extreme adventure awaits on the Comet Bobsled Sliding Track at Olympic Park. If taking curves at 60 mph isn’t for you, Great Salt Lake, the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi, beckons for hiking, swimming, and picnicking.
Soak up San Fran’s eclectic energy with a cable car ride for dim sum in Chinatown followed by chocolate in Ghirardelli Square.
Laugh at the sea lions at Pier 39 and enjoy Golden Gate Park’s world-class museums and seasonal festivals. Then cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and swap the city’s vitality for the tranquility of Muir Woods, where giant redwood forests give way to Pacific lagoons and beaches.
