The $459 rail pass mentioned in the article seems like a good option (15 days, 8 stops), but you have to be in love with the idea of taking the train.

- hornd 11y agoYea I didn't know this existed! Looks great.
- sirtaj 11y agoIt's possible that it gets cheaper in winter. My wife and I did exactly this trip but around christmas-time and it was fantastic. IIRC we paid a similar price but for the little cabin instead of the chair car. A lot of American friends were surprised we were doing this - they had this idea that it would be uncomfortable and boring. They just couldn't have been more wrong. Between the comfortable room-ette things, often very friendly and varied fellow travellers, surprisingly tasty food and absolutely amazing scenery, it's a fond memory. Of course, we scheduled in plenty of time - if you need to be somewhere punctually, Amtrak is not really your best bet.
