Adirondack Fall Foliage Rail Experience from Montreal

Montreal to NYC fall foliage rail trip, one Adirondack ride

Adirondack Fall Foliage Rail Experience from Montreal, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this four-day rail vacation from Montreal to New York City, the reverse-direction sibling of its Adirondack Fall Foliage Rail Experience. The trip begins with two days in Montreal: day 1 is free to explore the city's neighborhoods and its French-inspired food scene, and day 2 adds a guided motorcoach tour of Old Montreal, the Notre Dame Basilica, and Mount Royal Park. Day 3 is the centerpiece, an Amtrak Adirondack train ride from Montreal to New York City through the fall foliage of New York and the Adirondack Mountains. In New York City, a hop-on hop-off pass and attractions pass let you explore at your own pace, including Central Park's autumn trees and the Empire State Building. Hotels are chosen from 12 listed options across both cities and different tiers. The evidence is inconsistent about exactly how many nights this trip covers, so confirm that detail before booking. This suits travelers who want Montreal's history and food alongside a scenic fall train ride into New York City.
