The Vacations By Rail Advantage

In a world of hustle and bustle, few places offer a chance to disconnect and utterly lose yourself in the beauty of nature. Luckily, we have 58 of them in our backyard: national parks. Our itineraries are thoughtfully planned to showcase one or more of these protected lands and travel aboard beloved trains that open your eyes to the beauty off the beaten path in America. See soaring sandstone arches, great canyons whose colorful layers plunge deep into the earth, prehistoric Redwood trees, or some of America's most beautiful mountainscapes on a national park rail vacation.

  • Choice of independent tours and escorted rail vacations, depending on your travel preferences
  • Packages that feature a singular park or provide a sampler of the country's best national parklands
  • National park rail vacation options throughout the Western United States and Alaska
  • Comfortable cross-country travel on Amtrak's long-distance trains
  • Find beauty in the juxtaposition of America's cities and national parks on well-composed itineraries
  • Discover natural beauty one excursion at a time, heading out into the parks in a variety of ways, including on wildlife tours, boat rides, and aboard iconic modes of transportation, like Glacier National Park's Red Jammer Buses
