Amtrak Rocky Mountain Route Change

Advertise

As we planned a trip through the Rocky Mountains on the Amtrak California Zephyr route from San Francisco to Chicago, we noticed that they changed the route this summer. From July 8 to August 10, on Sunday through Wednesday (as of this writing on June 20, it has changed at least once already) they are going up to Wyoming and across plains and wide open spaces. This is quite a bit different than the Rocky Mountains and the Moffat Tunnel.

We only found this notice on their California Zephyr schedule PDF file and we thought it should be more noted on their route pages. If you were booking this trip based on the great scenery, you would be highly disappointed. So we have to hold off on our trip for now.
