In the last three years we have taken three trips on the California Zephyr . Its a comfortable relaxing trip ( we always have bedroom accommodations) but there is not much scenery across the plains, until you depart Denver and go West. For the best views go to the sightseer lounge. Its an observation car with large windows open to all train passengers. As they have a full dining car, the food on that Amtrak route is decent. If you book a sleeper there will be morning coffee in the car vestibule on the upper level served before the dining car serves breakfast.
