You're reading about what actually traveling on Amtrak trains is like. To jump elsewhere on the train, see the list of Amtrak pictures and pages below.
You can get off the train and take a break in gorgeous Glenwood Springs, Colorado, or you can stay for a night or two and check out the hot springs and vapor caves, or ski in Aspen, just up the road. The shot above was at the tail end of a coast to coast Amtrak trip for me -- New York City-Chicago-Granby, Colorado in spring, 2006, and Sacramento-Granby, Colorado in fall 2006.
