When compared to both driving as well as flying, travel by train will more relaxing and many trains provide a leisurely sightseeing experience. During the course of the train journey, you will go through some pristine landscapes that cannot be accessed by other means of transport. Here are five of the great train routes that you can consider during your visit to the continent. 1. Scenic Rail Route of America Denver – San Francisco The California Zephyr which runs between Denver and San Francisco is by far the most spectacular train route that you will ever experience. It offers unmatched scenery of the wilderness as it travels across two of the highest mountain ranges in the country. As the train leaves Denver, it climbs the eastern side of the Rockies that are covered with pines and passes through a series of canyons alongside the Colorado River. By sunset, you will be watching eastern Utah’s red rock desert and during the night you will cross the vast Nevada with its stark and salt flats and arid mountains. You will be climbing California’s Sierra Nevada by next day noon and reaching Truckee, a nineteenth-century railroad town. After a brief stop, you will continue your journey across the Donner Pass and reach San Francisco. 2. Scenic Rail Route of AmericaLos Angeles – Seattle The train Coast Starlight that runs between Los Angeles and Seattle features some of the best coastal scenery in America. The train traverses the shoreline of southern California for more than 100 miles and very close to the waves at times that you can actually wave to the surfers. The remaining part of the travel is through inland northern California and the Pacific Northwest. The highlights of the inland travel include a view of the sunrise on the 14,179 feet high Mount Shasta and the travel across Oregon’s Cascade Range. 3. Scenic Rail Route of America Chicago – Seattle The train that runs between Chicago and Seattle, the Empire Builder, glides through the woodlands of Wisconsin, Minnesota’s lake country, prairies of North Dakota and the snow-capped peaks of Rocky Mountains. The train runs for about 60 miles along the Glacier National Park’s southern edge from Browning, Montana, and reaches the West Glacier entrance. Nature lovers can take a break and then continue their Journey to Seattle. 4. Scenic Rail Route of AmericaWashington, DC – St Albans, Vermont The Vermonter runs between Washington, DC and St Albans across a scenic route to the east of the Mississippi. In the northern reaches, the train snakes through the rustic green hills as well as the photogenic villages of the rural Vermont. 5.Scenic Rail Route of America Chicago – New Orleans The famous train City of New Orleans (because of the song having the same name) offers a romantic trip to New Orleans, one of the greatest cities in America. After the night journey from Chicago to Memphis, the train runs through the mists of Mississippi and Louisiana in the morning, introducing the Deep South. Additional Information The best time to enjoy the train journey through Rock Mountains is from June to August. This is because the summer wildflowers will be in bloom and days are longer during these months. If you are of the adventurous type, you can buy a train pass that is valid for several weeks and enjoy the freedom to customize your travel itinerary.
