Amtrak’s California Zephyr train is one of the best train rides in the US. It is the best way to see the beautiful scenery of North America. This epic three-day ride goes from Chicago to San Francisco over nearly 2500 miles (4000 km), through plains, deserts, the Rocky Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada.
The view is beautiful all the way through, but it is especially stunning from the lounge car’s floor-to-ceiling windows. The famous Rocky Mountains aside, the part of the train ride between Denver and Glenwood Springs where it travels through deep, narrow canyons near the source of the Colorado River is a must-see bucket list moment for everybody.
