6. The Adirondack: New England Charm and Beauty
Route: New York, NY to Montreal, Canada
Praised as one of the most beautiful train rides in the world, the Adirondack is a spectacular day trip, especially during the fall foliage season. The train travels north from New York City along the scenic Hudson River Valley, past the historic Bannerman’s Castle and the prestigious West Point Academy.
It continues alongside the stunning shores of Lake Champlain before crossing the border into Canada. This 10-hour journey is a perfect example of a shorter, more manageable train travel experience that is packed with historical sights and natural beauty.
