Quote:Amtrak's pass is sold in segments, so a 15 segment pass is $500, good for 30 days. I'd have to research how long segments are to see how feasible that is for where I want to go.

Tentative stops:
Chicago
Portland
San Diego
Phoenix and Grand Canyon
possibly TX
possibly crash at brother's in DC
Boston
NYC
somewhere in Maine

I need to figure out how long of a ride between places to figure out how many of these places I can viably see. I may need to split it up as a West trip this time and an East trip later, although that would break my heart

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right???....but if you go to the schedule and put in the cities, Amtrak - Reservations - Fare Finder it will show if the route is a direct route (1 segment) or multiple segments. Chicago to Portland (Empire Builder) is direct or 1 segment. Similarly you can go from Flagstaff Az (close to Grand Canyon)all the way to New York in 2 segments (via Chicago). So it looks like you could get pretty far with proper planning.
