Coast Starlight Amtrak Train

If you’re traveling to Los Angeles from anywhere along the west coast north of the city, this train ride is a super scenic and relaxing way to travel, going through wine country and riding along the beach for miles (and it will probably be cheaper than flying too). The best parts besides the beautiful views: free luggage and you can drink on the train too!
