Amtrak offers tours of the National Parks of the Rockies 

Winter driving is treacherous; so many travelers do not vacation during the cold and dreary months.  These trends of staying at home during the winter are being broken by train tours of the National Parks of the Rockies.  The train tour of the Rockies is offered by Amtrak and begins in Chicago, Illinois.  Two trains, the Amtrak’s California Zephyr and the Montana Empire Builder will take you through some of the most majestic scenery of the Rocky Mountain area.  Packed full of activities and excursions the train trip will take you through Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Park, the lower half of Glacier National Park, and many mountain towns of historical significance.

The Polar Express is alive again. Take a train to see Santa as the Grand Canyon Railway presents a Christmas Train Tour that will delight both children and adults. The fare for an adult is $174.00, while children ride for only $24.00 apiece. This is a great way to spend time with the family as you ride the rim of the Grand Canyon in an historic train. Way before there were helicopter and rafting tours of the canyon, the Grand Canyon Railway was the most elite way to view the majestic vistas that was created by the Colorado River. Making it’s first run in 1901, the Grand Canyon Railway has offered for more than a hundred years, a relaxing, fun filled adventure.
