zephyr

I just discovered the most glorious travel idea. The California Zephyr. A train route between San Francisco and Chicago run by Amtrak. This journey takes 51 hours, covers almost 2500 miles and has been departing daily since 1909. Heavenly! It is said to be the most beautiful and scenic train trip on the continent. You get to cross the Great Plains, the Mississippi, The continental divide, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas.
Read more in this particularly eloquent post from someone who has experienced the magic firsthand.
