Top 10 Scenic Train Routes Perfect for Seniors

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.

    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.
