What better way to kick-start the New Year than with a fantastic, once in a lifetime trip to look forward to? Discover all that the States has to offer on this amazing trans-American adventure, taking in three epic railroad excursions as you journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast.
Sunny San Francisco
Your adventure kicks off in San Francisco and concludes in ‘the city that never sleeps,’ otherwise known as New York, stopping off at all the laudable landmarks along the way. This journey by rail and road allows you to soak up all that the States has to offer and discover its substantial and diverse delights.
San Francisco lays claim to being the home of the glorious Golden Gate Bridge. Take a scenic stroll or cycle ride over this feat of engineering before rewarding yourself by sampling the culinary delights of crab or clam chowder from one of the many seaside stalls and restaurants on Fisherman’s Wharf.
Of course, no stop-over in San Francisco would be complete without a trip to the infamous island of Alcatraz. Once a federal penitentiary that kept such flagrant fraudsters as Al Capone under lock and key, it is now a thriving tourist attraction.
Cool California
Your journey by train on the San Joaquin trail takes in the spectacular scenery of California’s Central Valley, incorporating a tour of Yosemite National Park.
As the tour heads further inland, the inhospitable and mountainous Nevada terrain makes way for the neon lights of Las Vegas; an outlandish desert oasis. Explore the exotic singularity of the Las Vegas strip with its hotel hotspots and renowned casino resorts.
Awesome Arizona
Heading out towards Arizona, the Hoover Dam is a sight to behold. This section of the stateside tour harks back to a bygone age of Western whimsy and wilderness. Vintage carriages, hauled by historic locomotives create a unique way of witnessing the Grand Canyon. Awe-inspiring vistas abound as the tour takes in Utah’s Monument Valley and heads out on one of the USA’s most scenic rail journeys, destined for Denver.
This is cowboy country in all its ten-gallon glory. Discover the wildlife and wilderness of the Rocky Mountain National Park before heading for the civilisation on offer in the city of Chicago.
The next destination on your diverse discovery is the natural wonder of Niagara Falls. No two days are the same on this trans-American adventure, as Niagara makes way for New York City.
Big Apple Beauty
