There’s a surprisingly simple way to get to Truckee in the winter… and most people don’t even know it exists! 🚆 Hop on the Amtrak California Zephyr and ride straight into the mountains. 🏔️ This route runs from Emeryville, California, all the way to Chicago, Illinois, but the stretch to Truckee is the real showstopper. 😮 Grab a seat in the observation car and watch the landscape change. 🌲 See snow-covered pines, rugged peaks, and Donner Lake as the train climbs toward the summit. 🚂 Once you reach Truckee, explore the walkable town’s shops and restaurants. Send this to the friend who is always down for a day trip adventure!
