The train takes its time climbing into the Rockies, and passengers can step outside to take in a deep breath of the invigorating air at Winter Park, only a couple of hours by rail from Denver.
This is also the route for Colorado's famous Ski Train, which operates in winter and produces peerless vistas like the one seen above. Winter Park, by the way, is an ideal spot for a snowy spring break.
Glenwood Springs is another of the many ravishing stops you can make on a rail trip through Colorado's Rockies. You can either get off the train and enjoy a brief respite here, or, if you have time to spend a night or two, check out the local hot springs and vapor caves, or ski in Aspen, which is just up the road.
This shot was taken at the tail end of the coast-to-coast Amtrak trip we talked about earlier: New York City-Chicago-Granby, Colorado, during the spring, and Sacramento-Granby later in the fall. As you continue to make your way around the country by rail, and capture a host of pictures, you may still find that the strongest memories will always remain engraved in your heart.

Tell us why! All Rail Passengers Association members receive 10 percent discounts on most coach fares; three-day advance purchase is required. Advance Purchase: Amtrak offers a variety of advance-purchase discounts of 20 to 25 percent. Purchase tickets seven to 14 days in advance, depending on route.
Smart Fares: Each week, Amtrak posts specific routes with 30 percent coach discounts. Fares post on Tuesdays for purchase during the next four days and for weekday travel starting the following week, ending after three weeks. Amtrak frequently posts short-term promotions, with a specified cutoff date, on its deals page.
They take several forms:. Conventional coach percentage discounts in limited regions, on specific trains, or to specific traveler groups such as seniors and students. Buy-one-get-one or companion offers; sometimes the second ticket free, sometimes the second ticket at 50 percent off.
One current temporary 15 percent discount applies to seniors age 62 or over on regional trains within California: Capitol Corridor, Pacific Surfliner, and San Joaquins. This promotion expires January 31, Route-specific sales can come and go. Amtrak sells monthly and ten-ride tickets for trips between two specified stations, as well as six-ride tickets for students, limited to a few trains.
That said, there are a few reliable ways of scoring cheap — or at least cheaper — Amtrak tickets. Amtrak ticket prices generally don't fluctuate up and down like airline tickets. Instead, Amtrak seats are sold in fare "buckets," starting with the cheapest fares first. Once all the tickets in that bucket have been depleted, the price goes up to the next highest fare. Amtrak tickets go on sale 11 months before the scheduled departure, and the cheap seats go fast on popular routes — so the sooner you can shop, the better.
If that exact fare were to be part of a sale at a later date, customers say that Amtrak is usually good about matching the price; all you have to do is call. Even a short-advance purchase can save you money, because many routes offer an automatic "Saver Fare" discount of 20 to 25 percent if you buy at least two weeks ahead of time.
But there's a catch: Those Saver Fares only apply to the cheapest pricing bucket. If you plan a short period of intensive train travel, you can save by purchasing a USA Rail Pass — Amtrak's version of a punch card.
