![]() In Sacramento, you can visit the excellent railroad museum by the station and explore the state capitol more. The train pass by the ocean for a lot of the beginning part of the journey, and if you get a sleeping car accomodation, you will get all meals in the dining car paid for, and in the Starlight, access to the exclusive Pacific Parlour Car. Take the Coast Starlight train from Los Angeles to Sacramento, the capital of California. Two ways to do this, and both involves the city of Chicago, the main hub of Amtrak train.ġ. Also, if you would like to see more of America and explore the trains in the west coast of the nation, you could take the long scenic train way from Los Angeles to New Orleans,and the rail pass can help you with that too. The rail pass I mentioned earlier would help you a lot if you want to get off at these cities and explore them more in depth. Los Angeles to New Orleans: The most direct train you can take for this trip would be the Amtrak Sunset Limited route, which goes from Los Angeles to New Orleans, passing by such cities such as Palm Springs, Tucson, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston and of course, New Orleans, where it ends. It's a great tour company from Vegas, done in small groups in a van and gives you 3+ hours at Grand Canyon South Rim, where the National Park is.Ĥ. Grand Canyon- since you wont have a car and want to visit this from Vegas, the best day trip company you could look up for a guided tour is Grand Adventures. Look into Southwest Airlines, which is a very good domestic airline in the US. ![]() Las Vegas- You should indeed fly from San Francisco to Las Vegas, Nevada. Take a look at Grayline Tours for guided tours from San Francisco to Yosemite.Ģ.

I would be grateful for any advice! has anyone done a similar trip on the trains? Does my itinerary sound interesting? will I beable to do little side trips to national parks once im in the bigger cities? would I beable to do a trip over to Mexico? Im on a budget of £1500 pretty much, before I go deep into the red (which I will if necessary :-s). and ill be staying in hostels all the way. Id LOVE to go to some national parks but have no idea how I would do this without a car? I know Big Bend is on the way and id love to go to Monument Valley (although this really is off the train route!), id love to go to Sante Fe too, Salt Lake City. ![]() Then from LA get the Amtrak trains (texas eagle!) all the way across to New Orleans with different stops along the way. I think id have to fly from San Fransisco to Vegas, and fly from Vegas to LA, and that maybe I could do a coach trip to the Grand Canyon from Vegas. Im flying into San Francisco on 30th of August and out of New Orleans 28th of September. ![]() My names Jenny, im going to Vegas for my sister wedding in September and have a planned a trip around it. ![]()
