The Bay Area to Denver summer train trip is not to be missed. See the Sierras on the way to Reno. As night comes on, the train speeds across Nevada. Perfect for a roomette. Early morning breakfast in the dinning car and its scenic Utah.
By afternoon…you’re passing thru the massive Rockies, the Eisenhower tunnel. It’s early evening and suddenly you’ve come through, the Mountains fall away..and your looking out at hundreds of miles of flatness toward Kansas. Like a map but real. Denver twinkles below as the train makes giant ‘S’es down to the city. My teen read his 1st novel on the trip. I am so thankful we had that trip together.
