Hi All,
I'm planning a journey on the west coast starting in Seattle and making my way down to SF before going through Salt Lake City and ending in Denver (I've heard the scenery isn't that interesting between Denver and the East Coast so I'm going to fly back).
I'm torn between flying and riding the rails between SEA and SF primarily because I'm trying to figure out if Portland is worth going to. Is the Coast Starlight route between SEA and PDX and PDX and SFC particularly interesting? Is it worth the extra day of travel? Are there interesting things to do in Portland other than ogle hipsters? The direct flight from SEA to SF is priced just $10 more expensive than the plane and would give me an extra day to do whatever.
