America's national parks are some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places in the world. From the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone, there are many breathtaking sights to see. Train travel with Amtrak Vacations is one of the best ways to visit national parks because it allows you to sit back and enjoy the journey.
Unlike road trips, which come with the stress of driving and navigating, train travel allows you to immerse yourself fully in the scenery and experience. You'll get to see sites you wouldn't have the opportunity to see by car or plane and develop a new appreciation for these protected swaths of land.
Traveling with Amtrak Vacations is about much more than just getting to your destination. There's ample time to relax, enjoy delicious meals, and reconnect with loved ones who are traveling with you.
Best of all, because Amtrak Vacations has long-standing historical relationships with the country's national parks, its stations are often close to park entrances. They also operate more than 500 stations across the country, and you can board at any one of them on the way to your destination.
Embarking on a train journey is one of the best ways to see some of the United States' most stunning natural landscapes.
