]]> Being one of the oldest modes of modern transportation, train travel is often overlooked. But some train rides can be an amazing experience. These scenic train routes take passengers through stunning, perhaps otherwise inaccessible locations.

Pacific Surfliner, Spain

The Amtrak route consists of 350 miles of ocean views with beaches, coastlines, quaint towns, and the beautiful blue Pacific. It leaves from the lively college town San Luis Obispo where you can explore the nearby wineries.

Jacobite Steam Train, Scotland

This 84-mile round trip journey in the Scottish Highlands starts at the town of Fort Williams near Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The steam train winds through green hills, crystal lakes, deep valleys, and quaint Scottish villages.

Grand Canyon Railway, USA

Starting at Williams, Arizona, this 130-mile round trip heads north to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. In addition to the spectacular desert landscape, passengers may spot wildlife that includes elk, mountain lions, deer, bald eagles, owls, and California condors.

Maharaja Express, India

The Maharaja Express is a recreation of the exquisite carriages that used to transport the ruling maharajas, the former royalty of India. There are trains departing from both Delhi and Mumbai. The journey lasts three-to-seven nights and goes through Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), Jaipur, Udaipur, and Ranthambore (where you can see Bengal tigers in the wild).

]]> Located in the interior West of the United States and bisected by the Rocky Mountains, the state of Colorado is one of the most beautiful states in the country thanks to its majestic mountain scenery.

One of the best ways to enjoy Colorado’s nature without taking a huge hike is on one of its many train routes. Here are three journeys that you should consider taking in order to see the best of the Centennial State.

Amtrak

The California Zephyr route between Chicago and Emeryville, California goes through Colorado and one of its most scenic areas, the upper Colorado River Valley. Even though this is just a regular old train route, travelers who use Amtrak in Colorado are amazed at the western half of the state’s beauty.

Durango and Silverton Train

A restored steam train in southwestern Colorado connects the towns of Durango and Silverton and offers up a breathtaking trek through the mountainous canyon areas in between. The Animas River and the sharp surrounding slopes will awe you no matter what time of year you visit in.

Royal Gorge Route Railroad

The Royal Gorge is a canyon of the Arkansas River in central Colorado and the home of the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, a heritage train that gives passengers the chance to travel through a spectacular natural area in style and comfort.
