Our trip will take place inside the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Mount Leidy Highlands. Elevations range from 7,000-9,000 feet above sea level. Temperatures will range from nighttime lows in the 30's to daytime highs in the mid 80's. It is not uncommon to have a brief afternoon shower to help keep the dust down. The Jackson Hole area is dominated by the magnificent Tetons. Directly across the valley lies the Mount Leidy Highlands. This area forms the northeastern edge of Jackson Hole and is drained by Spread Creek and portions of the Gros Ventre River. The main river valleys have a network of logging roads along the lower portions; however, the upper elevations are wilderness. The names of several places we'll be traveling through are Rosie's Ridge, Mount Leidy, Leidy Lake and the North and South Fork of Spread Creek. This area is the calving grounds and summer range for the prolific Gros Ventre elk herd. Moose, mule deer, coyotes, bear and a variety of raptors inhabit the surrounding backcountry. You may want to consider coming in a few days early or extending your stay after the trip to take in the nearby attractions. Both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are but a short drive away as are the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming and day raft trips on the Snake River section south of Jackson.

 I admit, I've always found trains romantic. Maybe it's the lingering dream of Western expansion attached to them-or maybe I've just seen too many old movies. Either way, train travel in the 21st century still maintains a heavy dose of charm inside, where café cars retain a bit of retro flair, and out, where oft-scenic countryside rushes by in a blur of pretty color.

I admit, I've always found trains romantic. Maybe it's the lingering dream of Western expansion attached to them-or maybe I've just seen too many old movies.

Keeping train travel at the forefront of transportation options-as it has been for more than 30 years-is Amtrak. Serving travelers with more than 30 routes and short- and long-distance trains that cross the country, Amtrak doesn’t hover above miniaturized landscapes-it takes travelers right through the heart of them, whether in spectacular canyons or bustling cities. I took two Amtrak routes through the latter-the Acela Express and the Northeast Regional-to explore two stops part of Amtrak Vacations' American Heritage by Rail journey: New York and Washington, D.C. Lucky for me, the destinations were as fantastic as the rides to them. |

My trip began in New York City, where nearly 47 million tourists from across the world land each year for a bright, busy dose of culture and iconic sights. Amtrak Vacations provides access to it all: Admission to museums, Broadway and off-Broadway tickets, Gray Line tours around town and to the Statue of Liberty, and On Location tours themed by favorite movies and TV programs filmed in the city.
Of course, too, there's admission to New York’s signature: the Empire State Building at Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. Completed in 1931, the building-the tallest in the state-stands, including the spire, 1,454 feet above the city. The main observatory is located 1,050 feet up on the 86th floor, and on a clear day yields a view up to 80 miles away, encompassing parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts in addition to New York State. Here, visitors can walk the circumference of the building on their own or with an audio guide; interpretive signage and powerful binoculars are placed throughout.
