Welcome on board this great American road trip by RAIL!

Over the next two weeks, we're visiting the country's best national parks, all by Amtrak.

No cars, no planes.

We'll cover over 4,000 miles, passing through 11 states with stops in Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon.

Traveling a slow way means we'll discover the best America has to offer from the comfort of the train, but of course, it won't always go as planned.

Join us for our most epic, most ambitious, and most unforgettable trip yet.

Hello Jet Setters, I'm Jeb Brooks from GreenerGrass.com.

We're about to explore America's best national parks by train.

And you're coming along.

In this episode of the Great American Rail Trip, we're heading to Yellowstone.

It's nestled between Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.

And while most everyone who goes there drives there, that's not an option for us.

Our journey starts in Chicago.

We're going to be boarding the California Zephyr.

It is Amtrak's most scenic, most epic route.

We have three rules for this experience.

One, we're only taking trains with a couple of surprises along the way.

Two, we're going to visit three of the country's best national parks.

And third, perhaps most importantly, we're going to show you something amazing in each one.

Visiting national parks by train is not the cheapest, it's definitely not the fastest, and it's for sure not the easiest.

But I think the fact that it's not the fastest or the easiest is the appeal.

It gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy everything that our country has to offer.

The national parks in and of themselves are amazing, but everything we're gonna see along the way is gonna be equally impressive.

I can't wait to share it with you, but let's get on this train and get this trip started.

First leg, the California Zebra for 34 hours to Salt Lake City.

And we'll be on board for 1,608 miles through five different

states before arriving in Salt Lake in the middle of the night tomorrow.

At least, that's what we hope will happen.

We're about 10 minutes to boarding and just made an announcement that we're delayed.

An indefinite delay.

Hopefully that means just a little bit.

Time will tell.

Since we're in an Amtrak bedroom, we could comfortably wait in the lounge.

And with Cash Cab on the TV, time did fly by, but we're hoping a delay this early in our trip is not a sign of things to come.

We were called to board about an hour late.

And here it is, the first train of the journey.

I have to guess this is not going to be the only delay on our trip.

I disagree.

I think we're getting rid of the one we're going to have early, smooth sailing from here.

That'd be amazing.

Let's go for it.

Welcome aboard.

I'm late departure here out of Chicago.

We had some HVAC issues with one of our coaches.

No air finish being so we needed mechanical to change out, replace that car.

So we late start leaving here out of Chicago.

Welcome to the bedroom.

This is the largest room category you can get here on Amtrak, and this is where we'll be for this first leg into Salt Lake City.

It's got everything you could possibly want.

The sofa turns into a bed, there's another bed that comes down from the ceiling, there's a sink, a toilet, and a shower in here.

Ordinarily, there's a chair right here, but it seems to be missing.

I'm not sure what happened there.

We call that an Amtrak oopsie.

Will there be more?

Probably.

Not doing this for 34 hours.

The missing chair does mean there's extra space in our room, and that means I can pull my suitcase off the rack downstairs and keep it up in the room with us.

Ordinarily, a bedroom can only comfortably fit one bag up here.

The funhouse mirror provided some entertainment, but not nearly as much as what we saw out the window.

Gablesburg's our first fresh air break.

We've got three minutes to stretch our legs.

And we were back on board just in time to leave Galesburg behind and soon cross over the mighty Mississippi.

This is Iowa, the second of 11 states.

And that also means it's time for dinner.

Meals for passengers booked into sleeper car accommodations, like us, are included in the price.

With dinner behind us, it's time to sort out sleeping arrangements.

I think I need to sleep in the upper bunk because, well, I'm a gentleman and you shouldn't have to suffer up there.

Yeah, but I'm smaller and more agile.

It's just easier for me to get up and down from up there.

Well, I think the only way to make this completely fair is to flip a coin.

Decide your fate tonight.

Heads.

Tails!

Okay, so what does this mean?

This means I win.

I choose Top Bunk.

Alright, well you heard it here first.

I tried to be a gentleman.

I like the Top Bunk.

It's kind of cozy and it's my own little space up there.

Good morning.

It's about 6 o'clock in eastern Colorado and I think that means it's time to start 24 hours on Amtrak.

People often ask us how to pass time on a train.

We'll show you starting with coffee and a sunrise in the sightseer lounge.

7.30, time for breakfast.

Boy, do I need some coffee.

There was a lot of horn, a lot of shaking going on last night.

And that was a swing and a miss.

We got up there and they said wait 20 minutes for a table.

So we've come back to our room, got some coffee, which will pass the time pretty well.

This is their first time, believe it or not, traveling in the summer.

It's a different experience.

The train is quite full.

We've got some views.

The Rockies are out there.

We'll be in Denver in no time.

We were able to get a table just as we arrived in Denver, and with nearly an hour here, we'll even have time to step out.

It's 8.45, so it's time for a fresh air break here at Denver Union Station.

100

These are great opportunities to get off the train, stretch your legs, get some fresh air, just enjoy a little bit of off-train time.

101

9.15, nap.

102

Gonna take advantage of the bed still being down.

103

I already need one.

104

Unfortunately, for some reason, and I'm not sure quite why, Suzanne had a bit of trouble sleeping.

105

Now, naps could not take up too much of the day.

106

You see, this section between Denver and Glenwood Springs offers some of Amtrak's best scenery, and it all begins here, just outside Denver.

107

10.10am, film the Big Ten Curve.

108

This is pretty hard work.

109

The Big Ten Curve is a legendary feat of engineering

110

that allows massive trains like ours to begin to climb up into the Rocky Mountains.

111

1115 about to enter the Moffitt Tunnel at 6.2 miles long

112

should take about 10 minutes to get through whichever car you're in

113

when you're entering the Moffitt Tunnel you stay in to keep

114

those noxious views out 1145 fresh air break in Fraser Colorado Feels like we're already in a national park.

115

1230, lunch.

116

Thinking Burger.

117

Meals in the dining car are always a highlight of any Amtrak adventure.

118

We've met so many fascinating people who share our love of train travel.

119

The river rafters along this section have developed an unfortunate greeting for Amtrak passengers.

120

Thankfully, the anglers are a bit more respectful.

121

It's 2 o'clock.

122

Best thing to do on Amtrak is just watch the world go by, and that's what we're doing.

123

We've tried a couple of times to get in the Sightseer Lounge, but it's just been too crowded.

124

We haven't been able to find space, unfortunately.

125

We're traveling in mid-August.

126

I guess summer is just a busy time, So follow our advice from the past and travel in the shoulder seasons if you can.

127

What better do you enjoy the sights with than a little afternoon cup of coffee?

128

Cup of Joe.

129

We'll switch to something stronger a little bit later.

130

That's possible.

131

2.30, time for a shower.

132

I'm just kidding, we're only on here for a day, so even though we've got this great en-suite, I'm not going to do it.

133

Instead, we played cards and Suzanne won again.

134

We're coming into Glenwood Springs and the way I-70 is built here is absolutely incredible.

135

I mean, check this out.

136

It's 4 o'clock.

137

Happy hour.

138

We purchased drinks from the cafe car, which is open to all passengers on board the train.

139

Hopefully there's time to hop off here at Grand Junction and grab some groceries while we're here.

140

You see, we'd heard about the special peaches sold here in the station, so I jumped off to grab some.

141

There was only one left, and it had Suzanne's name on it.

142

It's Palisade Peach.

143

It's 545 in Grand Junction.

144

We finally found seats in Sightseer Lounge.

145

And our timing was perfect.

146

Sit on the left side of the train for fantastic views of Ruby Canyon.

147

You see, there's no road here.

148

The only way to see this is on foot, river raft, or by rail.

149

Welcome to Utah, our fifth of 11 states.

150

7 o'clock, dinner time.

151

Except it's not in the dining room.

152

Let's explain.

153

You see, earlier in the afternoon, we heard an announcement of the loudspeaker.

154

Remember that broken HVAC that caused a delay out of Chicago?

155

Well it seems to have spread to the kitchen.

156

It is unsafe for my chef and food specialist to continue to work under those conditions.

157

It does go against FDA safety rules.

158

So what they're going to do is they're going to provide boxed meals from the dining car for dinner tonight.

159

I am not sure what it is.

160

We do not know quite yet.

161

As we've always said, Amtrak is a guaranteed adventure and this is yet another one.

162

Amtrak, you never know what to expect.

163

No aircon in the dining car?

164

It's another Amtrak, oopsie.

165

What did I tell ya?

166

Dinner turned out to be from McAllister's.

167

We think they were brought in from Grand Junction, and we definitely appreciate the gesture and agree it was too hot to work in there.

168

But unfortunately, these had just sat around so long that they were no longer very good.

169

Hey, at least it's not the Amstew.

170

It's kind of fun.

171

It's like a picnic on Amtrak.

172

It is, it's true.

173

And I know that they went to a lot of work to make this happen.

174

I mean, look, if the kitchen's too hot to cook in, it makes total sense.

175

Look at the size of this cookie.

176

As big as my head.

177

Eight o'clock.

178

Time for sleep.

179

Well, a nap.

180

I'll see in a bit.

181

You see, we've got to wake up around midnight to get out in Salt Lake City.

182

It's 1245 in the morning and we've made it to Salt Lake.

183

Our commitment to avoiding private transportation is real.

184

Despite the late hour, we are walking from the train station to our hotel.

185

It looks like a 14-minute walk, so totally manageable.

186

Yeah, that Uber tried to stop and pick us up, but no, no, no, no. We are walking.

187

So all that puts us here into Salt Lake about an hour and a half later than planned.

188

Could have been better, could have been worse.

189

The nature of Amtrak travel, just go with the flow.

190

Part of the fun.

191

Valet's closed.

192

We have to self-park.

193

1.30, time for bed, finally.

194

This bed is so comfy.

195

Good night.

196

And day three of this journey means our first bus.

197

Next leg, about eight hours in the Salt Lake Express.

198

Next stop, West Yellowstone.

199

It'll come as no surprise.

200

There's no food on this bus, so we're going to stop at a little shop around the corner here, grab a couple of sandwiches to go, and then make our way over to the bus stop.

201

Are you ready for the day?

202

Yeah, this walk certainly feels a lot different in the daylight.

203

It's like Red Paradise, guys.

204

Sandwiches?

205

Check.

206

The bus station is right next to the train station, so this is a reverse version of the walk we had last night.

207

So like Suzanne said, looks a little better in the daylight.

208

And I feel a little less tired.

209

Yeah.

210

A real bed makes a big difference, doesn't it?

211

Let us know in the comments, are you team two-wheeled luggage or four-wheeled luggage?

212

So I got kind of curious

213

and I plugged in our route today into Google Maps to see like how far it was.

214

It's 322 miles, 4 hours and 45 minutes.

215

Our journey on the bus today is going to take 7 hours and 40 minutes.

216

The Salt Lake Express maybe isn't so express.

217

We're in it for the adventure, the scenery, and the experience of seeing America's national parks by rail and by bus.

218

Your favorite.

219

I guess so.

220

And there she is, the first but not the last bus of this trip.

221

The Salt Lake Express is a private shuttle service operator with a pretty extensive route network around the American West.

222

This next leg of our trip will cover 237 miles through Utah and into Idaho where we'll stop in Rexburg.

223

We'll change buses there and travel 83 more miles into Montana.

224

Here we were the only passengers at this the first stop of the day

225

which meant we had our pick of seats

226

but don't worry the bus is gonna fill up as we make our way north.

227

Next stop West Yellowstone not quite we've got a few in between here and there.

228

Yeah we've got to stop downtown first and then we got to stop at Salt Lake International Airport.

229

Fun fact you can actually there's one flight a day on Delta from Salt Lake to West Yellowstone.

230

Opa!

231

Not for us though not for you we are here for you as we take this eight hour journey.

232

We chose initially to sit on the left side of the bus

233

because we figure we're going north so the sun will be on the right side

234

but there's so much more leg room on the other side I think we're gonna move over there.

235

Suzanne is bringing out the greener grass tape measure to be sure.

236

19, 12.

237

We're gonna move over here.

238

Salt Lakes Express offers an app to track our progress and there's even a bathroom on board, which we avoided.

239

Last chance to get out of the airport?

240

No, we are committed.

241

We are 100% taking the bus.

242

The journey is the destination.

243

Peace be the journey.

244

Is that your favorite movie?

245

Yeah.

246

We settled in, and since the bus was still pretty empty, I moved across the aisle.

247

We made a few more stops along the way, including one where we had time to get out and stretch our legs.

248

The bus is great.

249

There's a light, there's a little air vent.

250

It's got everything you could want.

251

There's even a footrest.

252

We take a break about every hour and a half to step off someplace with a bathroom.

253

In this case, we're stopped off at a place with a Dairy Queen, so Suzanne's grabbing some quick ice cream.

254

Blizzard time.

255

Is it even a road trip without an ice cream?

256

I don't think so.

257

So, got some Dairy Queen.

258

Gonna do this thing.

259

Okay, now let's try not to miss the bus.

260

Don't wanna be stuck in the Brigham City.

261

But maybe we do.

262

Seems kinda nice.

263

Cookies and cream, by far the best ice cream flavor.

264

I will go to battle for that, for sure.

265

This is delicious.

266

Hits the spot.

267

This might be my lunch.

268

Deb?

269

That's number six, eleven.

270

Soon enough we were ready for a full lunch, so we pulled out that bread paradise.

271

We're about six hours into this journey and just outside Idaho Falls

272

and you know feeling pretty good just giving you a quick update.

273

We will change buses in Rexnord?

274

Rexburg.

275

We will change buses in Rexburg, Idaho, to make the final push into West Yellowstone.

276

Now, about 25,000 feet over my head

277

is the airplane that left Salt Lake City just a few minutes ago

278

and will be touching down on West Yellowstone well before we arrived.

279

It's all good because we're enjoying the scenery.

280

Before we knew it, we pulled into Rexburg where the second bus, really van, of this journey was waiting waiting.

281

This is an easy transfer on to West Yellowstone.

282

The hour and a half journey included a great view of the Tetons.

283

And Montana marked our seventh state of this trip, but I wasn't quite sure of that.

284

Thanks to that noble steed right there we've made it to our sixth state, maybe seventh state.

285

I'm not really sure I can't remember anymore.

286

Anyway we're in Montana, wait until you see where we're staying tonight.

287

I'm gonna head over there and show it to you now.

288

Welcome to Under Canvas here in West Yellowstone.

289

Now Suzanne does all of the booking for us.

290

She makes all of our hotel plans, so I was really surprised when we came here.

291

We're staying in a tent.

292

Now it's a really nice tent, but it's still a tent.

293

Let me show you what I mean.

294

Now this is called a deluxe tent, and let me show you everything.

295

There's a great seating area and a fantastic king-sized bed, exactly what you'd expect in pretty much any hotel room anywhere.

296

There are a couple of differences though.

297

For example, there are no plugs.

298

Instead, they've given us battery chargers for our cell phones or whatever devices we've got, along with the lights by the bed that are really lanterns.

299

The shower is right here and is, well, shall we call it basic?

300

I guess is the word for it.

301

But it'll do the trick.

302

Now the question is, is it better than or worse than Amtrak?

303

At least it doesn't move.

304

Now the toilet is right here.

305

I don't know how many of you like to have hotel rooms with doors on your toilets.

306

Well this is not your place because I'm in and I'm out.

307

In, out, no door, we'll make do.

308

Okay now let me show you the key.

309

Now this is the clutch thing.

310

I am very glad that it is quite warm here in West Yellowstone

311

because there's also a the heating source is a fire.

312

Now it will This will come as no surprise to those of you who have been around the channel for a while.

313

I don't know how to start a fire.

314

Hopefully I won't have to find out tonight.

315

Moment of truth, how do you feel about my lodging selection?

316

It's innovative.

317

I've never seen anything quite like it.

318

The bathroom situation will be a test of our relationship.

319

Well, we've had worse.

320

Hey, there's more distance between the toilet and the bed here than in a view liner.

321

It's very true.

322

This is an upgrade.

323

Under Canvas is sat in a beautiful meadow along a peaceful creek, and it turned out to be a great place to stay.

324

The restaurant offers an impressive menu, locally inspired dishes that definitely hit the spot for us.

325

After a great night of sleep, we woke up early, filled our coffee cups, and made our way over to Yellowstone National Park.

326

Now, we hired a private guide here, because unlike the other parks we'll visit on this trip, there are no shuttle buses operating at Yellowstone.

327

At 2.2 million acres, this park is huge.

328

Not only was it the first national park in the United States when it opened in 1872, but that also makes it the world's first national park.

329

It's home to more than half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features.

330

I mean, these things are literally everywhere.

331

But one stands out, and it's Grand Prismatic Spring, the park's largest hot spring.

332

It earns its colors thanks to microscopic organisms that thrive here.

333

But there's more to Yellowstone than geothermal features.

334

Just a short hike away from Grand Prismatic, you'll find the 200-foot-tall Ferry Falls.

335

Trains, buses, days of travel has brought us here, And boy, the payoff, it's worth it.

336

Like every national park, there is so much to see here, and this is completely worth adding to your bucket list.

337

And the fact that we got here by public transportation is pretty epic.

338

But hey, we got to stretch our legs some more, because we've been on trains and buses kind of a long time.

339

Yeah, a lot of sitting yesterday, the day before, the day before that.

340

So let's keep on moving.

341

But there's one site here that stands above the rest, at least in terms of fame.

342

Here it is, the most famous site in all of Yellowstone.

343

Let's watch Old Faithful.

344

It's called Old Faithful because of just how predictable it is.

345

It erupts every 44 minutes to 2 hours, but on average, we'll see it erupt every 90 minutes or so.

346

But there's a helpful clock so you know exactly when to keep your eyes peeled.

347

Now eruptions like this shoot between 3,700 and 8,400 gallons of boiling water up to 185 feet in the air.

348

However, the highlight of our time in the park may not be quite as famous as Old Faithful, but at the end of this trail, we discovered Imperial Geyser.

349

It may only shoot water up to 15 feet in the air, but the color was stunning.

350

And best of all, we had this entire place to ourselves.

351

Our time here in Yellowstone is coming to a close, but worry not, there are more parks to come.

352

Our journey continues between now and the next time.

353

See you on the rails!

354

This time on the Great American Rail Trip, we'll continue to face problems and disruptions as we find ourselves on more trains

355

and buses to try and reach another national treasure.

356

Can we make it to Yosemite?

357

Don't miss our next episode to find out!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
