This exclusive overnight getaway includes travel from Los Angeles to the region in vintage private railcar COLONIAL CRAFTS, a private catered dinner at Hearst Castle and special behind the scenes tour personally conducted by the Museum Director. Also included is lodging in a deluxe ocean-front in San Simeon, and a short wine-tasting tour prior to reboarding COLONIAL CRAFTS in Paso Robles. Aboard COLONIAL CRAFTS you'll be pampered by our professional staff who will provide luncheon, hors d'Oeurves and dinner prepared for you fresh in our kitchen, as well as our complimentary bar.

National Parks of the West,
August 10-19, 2012

Save the Date! This unique 10-day Amtrak special train using vintage private cars is sure to please! On our journey we値l visit some of the most spectacular parks in the western United States. Our home base for this remarkable journey will be our sleeping cars, and our train will get as close to the parks we値l visit as it痴 presently possible to get by rail.

There are no ups or extras here. We値l provide it all from the moment you arrive at Union Station in LA until we return 10 days later. Nightly lodging will be aboard the train, so there痴 no packing and unpacking along the way.

We値l publish prices once the process advances a little bit more at Amtrak, and we値l publish a more detailed brochure at the same time, so stay tuned!

We are very excited about this year's tours. Additional information about each of our tours is available on our Special Events page.
