Home from La Plata via the California Zephyr and San Joaquin Trains Part 3



by Chris Guenzler

This will take you from the middle of Red Rock Canyon through DeBeque Canyon and on into Ruby Canyon.























The trip through Red Rock Canyon to the mouth of Glenwood Canyon. I had a 5:00 PM dinner reservation and enjoyed another excellent flat iron steak and ice cream for dessert. My meal ended after our Glenwood Springs stop was completed. Now the journey west to Grand Junction.

































































The trip to Grand Junction. I detrained and enjoyed the fresh evening air until the horn blew and we returned aboard the train. Next was the journey into Ruby Canyon, my favourite on the Amtrak system.















The train took us into the heart of Ruby Canyon.
