Journeys stopping off in Los Angeles

This 1,377-mile, overnight journey along the Pacific Ocean between Seattle and Los Angeles is a dramatic journey of almost unsurpassed scenery.

South of Tacoma the coastal scenery has views across Puget Sound of the Olympic Mountains, while inland rises the volcanic peak of Mount Helens. The frequent rattle of carriage wheels over iron bridges testifies to the many river crossings before they meet the sea.

Landscapes range from soft-fruit farms to buttes, before the train winds into the Cascade Mountains, clothed in Douglas firs and streaked with waterfalls. White pelicans may be seen in the vast Upper Klamath Lake as the train drops towards the Californian border with views of the highest peak, Mount Shasta, at 14,1600 feet.
