Amtrak USA Rail Passes
The West Rail Pass
Follow in the footsteps of the pioneers and Go West with the Amtrak West Rail Pass!
From the endless wheat fields of the Midwest past Great Lakes, towering forests, painted deserts and Cowboy Country to the mighty Pacific Ocean the American West has always captured peoples imaginations.
Here is your chance to explore the country portrayed in so many John Wayne westerns. Red Indians, Billy the Kid type outlaws, ghost towns and eccentric gold miners hide behind every cactus just waiting to be found!
The Amtrak West Rail Pass covers the whole of Western America from Chicago and New Orleans in the East to the Pacific in the West you will find more than Cowboys and Indians.
Lush forests, great plains of wheat, snow capped mountains, sandy beaches, sun baked deserts, rolling hills and rugged canyons should give you some idea of the diverse landscapes to be found in this half of the country and its not just the scenery.
The people are as varied as the lands that they live upon.
A more specialised pass such as the Amtrak West Rail Pass is great if you are only visiting one part of the country and lets face it America is so vast that its almost impossible to do it all in one go, unless you have a lot of time and even more money!
This pass is an affordable way to get to the places where you want to go without the hassle of airports or hire cars.
