Hi all,
I am planning a 21 day fly/train/drive family vacation in the summer. We will be leaving from Minneapolis, and my goal is to ride the train segments with the most fantastic views during the trip. I am thinking about flying to Denver, spend a few days there, then take the California Zephyr to San Francisco, spend a few days there, then take the Coast Starlight to Seattle, spend a few days in Seattle, and then fly back to Minneapolis from Seattle. The trip can be reversed if the views will be better. The only train I have taken is between Minneapolis and Chicago, and being from the midwest, I am not interested in seeing more plains and prairies or anything flat. We are two adults with an 8 year old child.
I would appreciate any and all suggestions from people who have done more rail travels than we have. Thank you very much in advance.
