Portland, OR Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Los Angeles, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this 6-day, 5-night Ultimate Getaway roundtrip from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon, aboard the Coast Starlight in Coach class. The journey north is described as an overnight coastal trip, with 2 of the 5 nights spent onboard the train across the roundtrip. Once in Portland, 3 nights of hotel accommodations serve as a base for a two-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour stopping at the Chinese Garden, the River Waterfront, and Washington Park's rose gardens, admission to the Oregon Historical Society, and a scenic Portland Spirit cruise on the Willamette River. The hop-on, hop-off tour runs June through October, with Oregon Historical Society admission substituted the rest of the year. Because the operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or name a specific hotel, exact timing of the sightseeing is left to the traveler. This package suits travelers who want an overnight rail journey bundled with a fuller slate of Portland sightseeing.
