Hi
I am about to take a trip using a 30 day Amtrak national rail pass in the northern part of the USA, starting in NY and going west on the northen route (through Montana) terminating in SF then back east via the route going through Colorado.
I am specifically interested in hiking in breathtaking landscapes and wish to minimize my stays in large cities or any developed areas.
I suppose the optimal planning process should be first identifying those train stations stops to disembark at in order to reach a worthwhile hiking trail, then identify a hiking area, national park nearby or any magnificent wilderness, then back on the train route for the next stop in which attractive hiking is available. I can take hiking trips that are longer than a day trip and include camping out.
Detailed info such as personal experiences, where to stop for my purpose, as well as any print/ online references would be greatly appreciated. All I could find in print so far is a book ny John Pitt and it has just a short paragraph on each stop and some dry info.
Thanks
