I'm thinking about taking the California Zephyr this summer, and I have a few questions:
First, how reliable is it to trust the bus connection between the Salt Lake City stop (coming from Chicago) and the Idaho stops (Twin Falls and Boise)?
Secondly, is there any other way to make the reverse trip other than to be waiting in Salt Lake for eight or so hours? The bus gets in extremely early for that connection...
Third: I may have to start out in MSP, except there seems no way to make the connection between the Empire Builder and the California Zephyr. Should I just take a bus along that route and walk over to the Amtrak station in Chicago?
...those are all that I can think of right now. If more come up, I'll ask.
Thanks in advance!
