Coast to Coast - Best of the USA and Canada

29-day cross-continent train journey from New York City to Jasper, Canada

Railbookers runs Coast to Coast as a 29-day, 28-night independent rail package across the United States and Canada, billed as a cross-continent train journey. The route starts in New York City, moves to Washington, DC, and then to Chicago, before heading to the Grand Canyon by way of Williams, Arizona, and on to Los Angeles. From there the trip continues toward San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and Jasper, though the evidence available doesn't describe that later stretch in the same detail as the opening cities. Because ten destinations are spread across 29 days in two countries, this is a longer and more involved itinerary than a single-region rail trip, and because it is sold as an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own time in each city between the train segments.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers doesn't publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package. The evidence names the cities in order (New York City to Washington, DC, to Chicago, to the Grand Canyon area, to Los Angeles) but the description cuts off before detailing the later legs to San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, and Jasper. Confirm the full routing and which trains are used before booking.
