Have you heard of the California Zephyr before? It is perhaps Amtrak’s most famous longdistance train. In May of 2023, Thom and Lindsey traveled across the United States on a USA Railpass. The Zephyr was the first train they took, and in today’s video we ride from the NebraskaDenver border all the way to Salt Lake City. All day, we will be running along the remote cliffs and raging rapids of the Rocky Mountains. You need to see these views for yourself someday.
