A
Amazing Train
Rides
Taking a train in the winter is
fun. The mountains turn from green to white,
and you can enjoy them on the journey.
Now many holiday?themed trains add fun. All
aboard!
●Aurora Winter
Train: Alaska
This
seasonal
scenic
train
that
heads
north
from
Anchorage
is
popular.
From
the
Winter
Train
you'll
see
a
snow?white
Denali,
America's
tallest
peak
(山峰
)
< br>—
and
with
any
luck, a trackside moose (
驼鹿
)
．
You can get off the train
after three hours at
Talkeetna to ski
in Denali or continue on for another nine hours to
Fairbanks for
some
northern
lights
viewing.
There're
few
better
places,
as
Fairbanks
is
America's
northernmost city.
●The Ski Train: Colorado
The Ski
Train is a
joyful ride even for non?skiers. The
ride
connects
Denver's
1914
Beaux?Arts
station
with
the
Winter
Park
ski
area.
One

supplement
Denver's
Beaux?Arts
Union
Station
and
two
hours
later
you're
stepping
off
the
train
100 feet from a Winter Park ski lift.
What a wonderful ride it is!
●Amtrak
California Zephy
r: Chicago to San
Francisco
Long?distance train travelers
adore west wind in any season, but winter adds
the appeal of sugary snow outside the
window as you travel over the Rockies and
Sierras.
Departing
daily
all
winter
from
both
Chicago
and
San
Francisco
,
the
51?hour
journey offers
hotel?level service in a bedroom. Or you can break
up the trip with
stops to sleep (and
ski)in Denver or Salt Lake City.
●Canyon Christmas trains:
Arizona
“Snowbirds”
who
escape
the
Midwest
cold
in
December
by
flying
to
Arizona
wish
for memories of a
Christmas away from the desert. With a short drive
from Phoenix
to
Clarkdale
(near
Sedona),
they'll
see
small
pines
and
red
rock
hills
while
hugging
the Verde River on
the four?hour Verde Canyon train in indoor and
open?air cars.
本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四条不可思议的冬季火车路线。
