Why wait for the DESTINATION<br />
to start your VACATION?<br />
The moment you come on board <strong>Amtrak</strong> ® the adventure<br />
begins. From the comfy, reclining seats to larger-than-life<br />
windows to the freedom to move around whenever your<br />
heart desires, there is absolutely no better way to see<br />
America than by train. So go ahead and choose from more<br />
than 500 <strong>Amtrak</strong> destinations, including national parks<br />
and big cities, and enjoy every minute of your vacation —<br />
starting with the journey.<br />
Reduce your CARBON FOOTPRINT<br />
while TRAVELING GREEN.<br />
You see, when you take the train, you can rest easy<br />
knowing that you’re reducing emissions. Trains are more<br />
energy efficient than planes or automobiles per passenger<br />
mile of travel.* This means generations to come will have the<br />
chance to fall in love with the same breathtaking scenery.<br />
The Empire Builder ® near Glacier National Park, MT.<br />
*<strong>Amtrak</strong> passenger efficiency based on data from the U.S. Department of Energy Transportation Yearbook — 2011.<br />
Information on <strong>Amtrak</strong>’s environmental impacts and initiatives can be found at <strong>Amtrak</strong>.com/travelgreen.

Escorted Rail Journeys<br />
BY AMTRAK VACATIONS ®<br />
AMTRAK VACATIONS ® IS PLEASED TO OFFER OUR ESCORTED RAIL<br />
JOURNEYS FOR 2012. Our Escorted Rail Journeys are designed to offer travelers an exciting<br />
vacation while all the daily activities are handled by an experienced escort. Train travel is a<br />
wonderful way to relax and view the country and a great ecological way to visit National Parks.<br />
Arrangements are made for all transportation and transfers, hotel accommodations, guided<br />
tours and activities, meals, baggage handling and more. Let <strong>Amtrak</strong> <strong>Vacations</strong> take care of all the<br />
planning, so you can sit back and enjoy the journey.<br />
Red Rock Amphitheater outside of Denver, CO<br />
<strong>Amtrak</strong> Bedroom Accommodation<br />
SMALL GROUP TOURS offer exceptional quality and an unsurpassed experience. Maximum<br />
capacity on any one tour ranges from 22-28 travelers, therefore, allowing you to see more, do<br />
more, be more comfortable and enjoy more. We utilize mini-coaches and not large motorcoaches<br />
for all tours. Mini-coaches are easier and faster to get on and off, luggage comes off faster and<br />
most importantly, the smaller sized vehicles can go to more places, more conveniently. There is no<br />
better way to travel in National Parks than on mini-coaches.<br />
SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS aboard the train are always included in your package,<br />
even when traveling for just eight hours. This ensures privacy and added comfort to train travel.<br />
All meals in the Dining car are included with Sleeping car accommodations.<br />
MEALS are provided in some of the finest establishments in each destination keeping the<br />
experience and value in mind. We try to utilize restaurants that offer flexibility so that entrees are<br />
ordered from the full menu with NO dinner buffets. In many places, we dine where the locals dine<br />
and that can be more enriching than a large restaurant in a “touristy” area.<br />
Dining on <strong>Amtrak</strong><br />
OUR STAFF will take each individual’s needs into consideration as their primary responsibility.<br />
Your escort will manage all travel arrangements including baggage handling and each day’s<br />
activities to ensure your vacation runs smoothly. We hire local professional guides in each<br />
destination to do all the touring narration.<br />
THE HOTELS we choose balance luxury with value and location. In many National Parks, there<br />
are no luxury accommodations, but we try to offer rooms with better views or lower floors for<br />
travelers whom would struggle with stairs. We search for historical, upscale properties that in<br />
many cases are an attraction themselves.<br />
Andaluz Hotel, Albuquerque, NM<br />
EXPERIENCE THE PARKS don’t just drive through them. If you love to take pictures and<br />
want a more enriching experience, our escorted journeys will accomplish this effortlessly. For<br />
example, while many operators drive into Yellowstone, spend one night or just drive through with<br />
a stop at Old Faithful, we have three full days in the park. We go wildlife viewing, see all the falls<br />
and major geyser basins, ride a stagecoach and best of all, we’ll do this inside a 13-passenger<br />
vintage yellow bus. In Glacier, we see all sections of the park. In the Grand Canyon area, we will<br />
take you to Lake Powell and Sedona plus travel aboard The Grand Canyon Railway to the South<br />
Rim of the Canyon.<br />

What happens inside is equally INCREDIBLE.<br />
AMTRAK ACCOMMODATIONS. Seeing the country by train wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable<br />
if service and comfort were lacking. Truth is, our service is a big part of what makes riding the train so<br />
memorable. <strong>Amtrak</strong> offers two types of train service: single-level and our bi-level Superliner ® service.<br />
Onboard accommodations vary by route, and the following pages describe the differences.<br />
SINGLE-LEVEL TRAINS. <strong>Amtrak</strong> operates single-level service on most short-distance routes<br />
and some long-distance routes serving the Eastern U.S.<br />
COACH. There’s not a bad seat in the house. That’s because all Coach seats are the same: large,<br />
comfy, reclining, with foot and leg rests, fold-down tray tables, individual reading lights (available on<br />
most trains) and overhead luggage racks. Go ahead and walk around — with windows throughout<br />
the car, you won’t miss a thing.<br />

DINING CAR. Enjoy the sights while getting a bite to eat. Just stroll down to the Dining car<br />
where an attendant will greet you, show you to your table and recommend a wine to complement<br />
your restaurant-quality meal. The oversized windows offer larger-than-life views and make this a<br />
dining experience you’ll be sure to remember.<br />
KITCHEN<br />
TABLE SEATING<br />
CAFÉ / LOUNGE. The most popular place to hang out and socialize is the Café / Lounge car.<br />
Here, you can unwind, meet fellow riders or eat a meal with family or friends. Menus offer sandwiches,<br />
