Experience Three Iconic National Parks on One Great Rail Journey with Amtrak Vacations
TM
From the year America’s first national park, Yellowstone, was established in 1872, to the 58 great national parks operating in the United States today, the country has carefully honored its goal of preserving some
of the planet’s greatest natural treasures. These
vast expanses of protected land showcase some of the most iconic views on earth, from the granite cliffs of Yosemite National Park to the deep, multi-hued canyons
of Grand Canyon National Park. In addition, hundreds of species of flora and fauna call the parks home, finding sanctuary in the glorious natural landscapes.
With all this natural beauty on display, it’s no wonder that 275 million people from around the world visit America’s national parks every year. And while people may not automatically think of getting to the parks by train, this unique option provides an incredibly scenic and authentic way to get up close and personal with their natural wonders.
The connection between our national parks and the train has always been strong and existed well before the invention of planes and automobiles.
In fact, America’s early railroad companies were instrumental in the creation of several of our national parks. Today, this connection is stronger than ever, with Amtrak® train routes running to, and through, some of the most popular national parks, including Grand Canyon National Park, Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park.
Exploring our amazing national parks by rail is a great alternative to traditional travel options, and Amtrak Vacations provides unforgettable adventures for anyone seeking to check national
park destinations off their bucket list. One such journey – Grand National Parks with Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon
– offers travelers the best of three top national parks, as well as
scenic and relaxing train journeys
on three iconic Amtrak Routes –
the California Zephyr®, the Coast Starlight®, and the Southwest Chief®.
You’ll take in the great expanse of the American West as you travel from Chicago across the Great Plains and through the Rocky Mountains
aboard Amtrak. You’ll stop to explore all the sites and wonders of sprawling Yellowstone National Park. Then you’ll continue on the train to Yosemite National Park, where your tour takes in all the stony peaks, beautiful open meadows, and piney forests that make up this national treasure. Finally, the Grand Canyon will
leave you in awe with
a natural beauty that took millions of years to create.
This special Grand National Parks vacation is an unforgettable way to experience the best of three incredible parks in one immersive rail journey!
