On Tuesday we leave on a cross-country train trip.I have always wanted my daughters to see the country, and I could think of no better way to do it than by taking the train coast to coast.
We leave from Boston on early Tuesday morning, and arrive in California Friday evening. Over the course of our trip we will see some of the prettiest shorelines in the U.S. On Tuesday, we'll start in Boston and travel through the Berkshires, eventually stopping in Albany. We'll switch trains there and roll through the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The train parallels the Eerie canal for a stretch and then rolls along the Mohawk River. Finally, we'll travel along the south shore of Lake Michigan right up into Chicago. In Chicago, we switch trains and then it's off to California on the California Zephyr, which is known as one of the most beautiful train trips in all of North America! After passing through the great plains, the train will go up through the Rocky Mountains and then ramble on through the Sierra Nevadas. On Friday we will eventually pull in to Emeryville California and a short bus trip into San Francisco. We'll stay in San Francisco until Tuesday morning, and then fly back to New Hampshire. Needless to say, over the next week, we'll be posting a lot of pictures from as we cross the United States, and give our thoughts on the trip. Bon Voyage readers! Our traveling posts will start on Tuesday.
