Seattle to Denver through CA coast

[Lifemagician]

In a month you could easily take the train to LA (or further?), rent a car, taking in all the sites on your list (weather permitting) in a loop trip, then train it back to Seattle.

If you are flying into Seattle, or Vancouver, you would possibly find it cheaper to fly out of there as well.

Our plan is to get to Portland, travel down and make stops through the CA coast

You have to decide what it is you want to do and see as you have the time for a great road trip, but you are not going to be able to sight see in the same way if you are on a train. It's a wonderful drive down the California coast through the Redwoods, into San Francisco over the Golden Gate bridge and around scenic Big Sur, not to mention the Oregon coast ! If you visit Portland there is the Columbia river Gorge you could explore and many other attractions along the way. For me a road trip is about the drive but it might not be the best option for you.

I just read on other forums that there was an Amtrak that traveled from Vancouver to LA. I was considering that as an option just bc I knew it was there. Obviously this is part of my pre-planning. Also, I've never traveled on the west coast. Im not expecting to go from Seattle to Denver in a straight shot. Like I said, no strict plan. I suppose your arrogance got in the way of what my post is actually asking.

You didn't provide enough context to know whether you are 16 planning to run away from home or 65 on a retirement adventure from Britain. Have a nice trip.
