The Los Angeles to Seattle Coast Starlight train trip is known as one of the most scenic trips that can be taken in the U.S. The 35-hour trip offers spectacular views at a relatively affordable price, with rumors swirling that prices can actually get as low as $97.

The view on the train ride is absolutely to die for, as you will be brought through the mountains, foothills, and forests of coastal California, Oregon, and Washington with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean on one side.

The train travels through Santa Barbara, the Bay Area, and other beautiful cities along the West Coast. During the trip, you will see snow-covered mountains including Mount Shasta, the rolling valleys of California, and expansive stretches of the Pacific coastline.

“I just took the Coast Starlight last month, from LA to Seattle," one rider recalled. "It was a beautiful trip, especially the beach side track from Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo and the Paso Robles pass in the mist.”

“Took the Coast Starlight last week from LA to Seattle," another rider recounted. "One of the best trips that I have ever done, my wife and I loved it. We were on a trip around the west from Pittsburgh, Pa to La up to Seattle and back home. Bucket list item done but I think that we will redo this one-it was great.”

The train itself is very luxurious and includes sleeping cars, dining cars, a Sightseer lounge car, comfortable coach seats with extra legroom, and free WIFI.

“This is always my favorite link when I hit the rails for a run around the country," one rider suggested. "Prefer to go up to Seattle, rather than down for the timing of the coastal views. Book a sleeper and you will have access to the Pacific Parlor Car which is the only parlor car (that I know of) on Amtrak. Highly recommended.”
