Hi, all. My wife and I are booked in August, boarding in Denver and going westward to Emeryville CA. Our first trip on Amtrak in about ten years, and we're very much looking forward to it. We are flying back home from California, so we'll only be on the train one way. We will be on the upper level in coach. Can anyone tell us whether we ought to try to sit on the right side (looking mostly north) or the left side (looking mostly south) on the train (if we have a choice)? Are the spectacular views any more spectacular on one side or the other?
Also, we are going to sleep overnight in our coach seats. How comfortable (or otherwise) is this? Also, how are the shower facilities for coach passengers?Unfortunately, we really cannot afford a sleeper, so we have to make the best of it. Any suggestions about this would be most appreciated!
Finally, what items did you forget that you really wished you had on the train?
Many thanks for your kindness in responding!
