Amtrak California Zephyr

Amtrak California Zephyr

Pros: The train was surprisingly quiet in Coach. I loved the view and the spacious comfortable seats. Cons: I had expected to arrive at Union Station in Denver about 5:30. However, there was a 1 hour and 20 minute delay of the train arriving to pick passengers up.... and the need for the train to travel slowly over track repair areas, further delayed us...it was 8pm before I arrived in Denver. Tips: Apparently you cannot expect to arrive at your destination on time, so it is difficult to plan to catch a flight or other transportation at your destination. Plan your connections with plenty of room for delays.

Amtrak California Zephyr

Pros: The views were spectacular and the gentle elevation climb was very comfortable. Cons: Snack selection. Ability to get good photos without window glare would be nice. Carrying bags up narrow stairs is difficult for healthy people and near heart attack for others. Tips: This trip is a must do by train!
