A kid vacation to remember undoubtedly includes a train tour or train ride. Even though there are many seats to see and things to do, there is not anything better than a train ride to bring out the small kid in all of us. Whether its riding a modern train to tour the country or taking a fleeting pleasure trip on a vintage steam engine, your family will have a wonderful time. There are many uncommon train tours available all over the world. Here are some excellent ones located in the United States.
Sierra Railroad
Offers three fantastic train tours in California. The Sierra Railroad Dinner Train connects the Central Valley to California’s Gold Country and offers gorgeous scenery. The Sacramento River Train boards in Forest, California and follows the Sacramento River. The Skunk Train follows a winding route over the Noyo River, and makes its way through the coastal mountains to the Redwood forests.
Grand Canyon Railway
The Grand Canyon Railway leaves from Williams, Arizona and offers several classes of vintage train benefit to the Grand Canyon. This is a fantastic way to get from Williams to the Grand Canyon, and journeying to the canyon by rail offers a fun and unique travel experience for your family. Along the way, delight in 65 miles of Grand Canyon Country views and Ancient West entertainment.
Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad
This is America’s highest and longest narrow gauge railroad. It makes trips between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado. They offer a diversity of train rides, and their Cinder Express is a three-hour trip designed especially with children in mine.
Black Hills Central Railroad
Ride the 1880 Train through the gorgeous Black Hills of South Dakota. This vintage steam train is located near Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. The train runs between Hill City and Keystone, and is a fantastic way to see some of the area. You and your kids will like the ride.
Both young and ancient delight in train rides, and there is probably no better way to see America than to take a train tour. Make it a major part of your kid vacation this year or use it for a fleeting side trip or weekend getaway. Delight in the slower paced travel and gorgeous scenery, and treat your kids to a small go of a bygone era. It will certainly be a trip that your family will remember and treasure for years. Have a fun trip!
