There is a fantasy of stone and sky in the southwest United States. Between the eye and the horizon lies a panorama of plateaus, buttes and stone monoliths of startling shapes and sizes. The national and state parks display geology and beauty both unique and grand.
On this escorted Amtrak tour participants experience Amtrak's magnificent California Zephyr route from Denver to Grand Junction, Colorado. You will travel through multicolored deep canyons into the heart of the Rocky Mountains on Amtrak's very best double-decker Superliner equipment. You return to Denver from Winslow, Arizona, using the Southwest Chief to Trinidad and then private motorcoach service to Denver. These are two of the most beautiful train trips in North America. Also included are a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway in the new Vista Dome Car First Class and a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad out of Clarkdale, Arizona in the First Class Parlor Car with luncheon on board.
The parks you will explore include Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, Edge of the Cedars State Park, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Grand Canyon National Park.
