Thanks again all of you! I'm questionning myself how to get the most of the Pacific Coast southbound, what do you think about taking the CS from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, with the delay of time in summer it should be just the beginning of the night. Passing a day in Santa Babara, seem to...

This seem incredible! Unfortunately I don't have a driving license because I don't need a car in my french city 😅

I'm also questioning myself if it exist some Amtrak stations close to a scenic national park that you can access by a tour or by bus ?

Thank you a lot!! I saw that I could miss a big part of the Ocean on the Coast Starlight going southbound, there is a solution to avoid this? What are the main pro's and co's between Southwest Chief and Sunset Limited? I saw that there is a Lamy stop on the Southwest Chief limited that make a...

Hello everybody! I’m wondering if you had to share, what do you think is the perfect Amtrak itinerary for an international traveler across the USA ? To precise, I would like to get the best balance between wonderful cities, most scenic views on train from 2 to 3 weeks of holidays in total, and...

Thank you all of you ! I’ll now look for solutions to get lower prices possible ! If it's for a coach seat, should I also book long time in advance? Do you know if there will be any other discounts on the pass? My itinerary has changed again thanks to all of your recommandations 🤔, the...

Oh I didn't think about it thank you ! It will be in Spring or Summer and the Portland and Seattle sections seem to be very scenic !!

Thanks! About Denver, I thought : the first day I'm arriving at 07.15 (without delay) so just visiting the city itself. Then, the day after take a day tour trip to the Rocky Mountains for the day and the day after taking a day tour trip for Garden of the gods and Pike peaks. Do you think that...

Thank you ! I'm 24 and will probably doing this with 2 or 3 other people, in fact i'm divided between 2 train trips : american train coast to coast experience (NYC -> D.C -> Chicago -> Denver -> SLC -> SF -> LA) and what I'm calling american train inland experience (NYC -> D.C -> Chicago ->...
