Travel and Leisure ~ ” Coast Starlight to Crater Lake National Park – Amtrak’s Coast Starlight runs the length of the West Coast, connecting Seattle and Los Angeles, and is easily one of its most beautiful routes. You can stop in cities like Portland, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara along the way, but the true highlight is Crater Lake National Park, home to the deepest lake in the United States. The epitome of Pacific Northwest beauty, Crater Lake National Park has it all: You can hike a dormant volcano, camp, drive the Scenic Rim, and wander old-growth forests. To reach Crater Lake National Park via Amtrak, disembark at the Klamath Falls stop and take the seasonal Crater Lake Trolley, which drops you off in the park within an hour and a half.
