Railbookers offers a 15-day independent rail package through the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast of the United States and Canada. The journey begins in Denver, Colorado, where you have time to explore Rocky Mountain National Park before boarding Amtrak's California Zephyr westbound. The train travels through the high country to San Francisco, where you spend days enjoying the city's neighborhoods and waterfront. From San Francisco, the Coast Starlight carries you north along the California and Oregon coasts to Seattle, known as the Emerald City. The route then heads into Canada, with stops in the mountain towns of Jasper, Banff, and Calgary in Alberta. This is an independent itinerary, meaning Railbookers coordinates your rail passes and hotel bookings while you set your own pace and choose how to spend your time in each destination. It suits seasoned rail travellers who prefer flexibility and who are comfortable managing connections across multiple trains and cities.
