The Best Way to see the USA 🇺🇸 🚆

This is what 44 hours feels like when you skip the plane and choose @amtrak to cross the continent 🚆 The Empire Builder connects Seattle & Portland to Chicago in 44 hours — and during those two days and two nights onboard, you’ll go from the beautiful sounds of the Pacific Northwest, through the Cascades, then the Rockies, and finally the mighty Great Plains before pulling into Chicago 👀 🛏️ I highly recommend booking a roomette, you get a private cabin, access to a shower to stay refreshed, and all your meals are included in the price. The dining car is just sublime, especially when you’re enjoying dinner rolling through the Rockies 🏔️ 💰 $1,200 for one person, and the price goes down when booking for two (yes, the roomette fits two passengers!) It may not be the fastest way to get there — but it’s definitely the best way to discover the beauty of the USA. Because when you fly, you’re not seeing anything ✨ 🇺🇸
