Top 10 Scenic Train Routes Perfect for Seniors

September 8, 2025 · Lifestyle
Inside a train's observation car, several seniors watch the sparkling Pacific Ocean and rugged California coastline through large windows.

2. The Coast Starlight: Pacific Ocean Panoramas

Route: Seattle, WA to Los Angeles, CA

If coastal views make your heart sing, the Coast Starlight is your ticket to paradise. This 35-hour journey connects the great cities of the West Coast, offering a spectacular show of diverse landscapes. You’ll travel past the snow-capped Cascade Range, lush forests, and fertile valleys before the train hugs the dramatic California coastline, with the sparkling Pacific Ocean just outside your window for miles.

The Sightseer Lounge Car, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, is the perfect place to sit back and watch the stunning scenery go by. It’s a relaxing and beautiful way to experience the best of the West.

    I am a Rail Aficionado (rare milage collector). I have ridden ALL of Amtrak, and almost all of VIA (missing Prince William to Prince Rupert).

    I have not (but want to this year – 2026) do two end-to-end Rocky Mountaineer’s Canadian excursions. SPECIFICALLY: “First Passage West” – starting on a WEDNESDAY – from Banff. Do a three-day lay over in Vancouver, BC. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Then starting MONDAY, board the “Rainforest to Gold Rush” – Vancouver to Jasper. Then connect with VIA Canadian in Jasper to Prince William and take the split of train to Prince Rupert. Finally: fly out of Prince Rupert to either Seattle or Portland.

    Also want to do (probably next year) Rocky Mountaineer’s US tour. Denver to Moab. Then Moab to Salt Lake.

    Do you do anything in Mexico? I have done the ‘Copper Canyon Train.

    I am 78 years old and fairly mobile.

    Talk to me!

    Sir, the old Rocky Mountaineer Denver to Moab is now called the Canyon Spirit. My friends just finished the Salt Kake City to Moab to Denver and enjoyed it very much!
