The California Zephyr is one of the most beautiful train trips in all of North America. As you venture east through the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas and climb through the heart of the Rockies, you're bound to see why. The Zephyr runs between San Francisco and Chicago, from Emeryville through Reno and Sacramento, from Salt Lake City across the Rockies and coursing through the plains of Nebraska to Illinois. Enjoy 2 nights on the train and hotel stays for 6 nights. This 9-day rail journey packs in a lot of highlights and flights from Australia are included.
