[QUOTE]Originally posted by Geoff M: [QB] I'd agree with the SWC/Starlight/CZ combination - but in that order. Some will argue otherwise, but in either direction there is the risk of missing some scenery in darkness should the train be late. My reason for risking the CZ into Denver in darkness rather than the Starlight into LA in darkness is simple: you can still see Colorado spread out, lit up before you as you descend from the Rockies. Compare to the Starlight where you see a dark sea if you're lucky, one that can be seen from most coastlines in the world. For a small town to stop off in, I quite enjoyed Glenwood Springs, Colorado (on the CZ). There are hot springs there, plus you can go white water rafting along the river while trains go past. Altitude-wise, the highest is somewhere around 9,000ft. Not especially high if you're lazing around on a train - most planes in the air today only pressurise the cabin to around 7,000ft. Geoff M.
