8.Mount Hood Railroad, Oregon

 

 

Situated approximately 60 miles east of the city of Portland in Hood River, is the popular Mount Hood Railroad. This railroad company offers a 22-mile journey through a colorful kaleidoscope of Oregonian fall foliage practically surrounding the snow-topped Mount Hood. The nigh-iconic Hood River runs through the Columbia River Gorge. It is there you will take in some of the best autumnal colors in the entire Pacific Northwest.  

 

9.Napa Valley Wine Train, California

Ask yourself: Could anything be better than a scenic train ride to see all the lovely local fall foliage? If you are an oenophile, how about a scenic train ride to see all the lovely local foliage and wine as well? The latter is just what you can expect on this three-hour train trip.

Relax and enjoy the comforts of a rather luxurious vintage train transporting you back to the Victorian era as you soak up both the products and the landscape of Napa. Feeling peckish? Stroll to the dining car and partake of a “Napa-style, multiple course gourmet meal” with an impressive list of local wines. Be sure to book a seat in the popular two-level vista dome car to ensure you get the very best views of Northern California’s fall foliage.
