California Zephyr is one of the most beautiful train trips in all of North America.
As you climb through the heart of the Rockies, and further west through the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas, you may find it hard to disagree.
The Zephyr runs daily between Chicago and San Francisco, coursing through the plains of Nebraska to Denver, across the Rockies to Salt Lake City, and then through Reno and Sacramento into Emeryville/San Francisco.
A trip where you can gaze out of the window at the ever changing scenery or let your eyes close and enjoy a nap to the distant hum of the mighty diesels. Perhaps you might wander along to the lounge car and sip a cool drink whilst you read or chat to your fellow travellers; maybe the steward will have tonight’s menu ready for your perusal.
Fifty one hours and twenty minutes that you will never forget. That’s the time it takes the Zephyr to travel from Chicago to San Francisco. Between these legendary cities, from the vast expanses of the Great Plains to the humbling crags of the towering Rocky Mountains, the heart of America is laid before you. Superlatives to capture your attention are really unnecessary; this is truly a unique experience.
