Amrtack Coast Starlight

Take the Train to Paso
Overnight Adventure with Sandy Lydon


Take the time to explore one of those places where you’ve only stopped for gas. A unique opportunity to ride the Coast Starlight from San Jose to Paso Robles and stay overnight in one of California’s historic hotels, the Paso Robles Inn. We will tour Paso Robles in our own comfortable motorcoach, visiting a number of historic spots including the wondrous Paso Robles Area Pioneer Museum.

Paso Robles Inn

The following day we will make a pilgrimage to the James Dean monument at Cholame and visit Parkfield, the Earthquake Capital of the World, before wandering back north in the Salinas Valley. With any luck the hills will be carpeted with wildflowers. This is the best time of year to visit this part of the Monterey Bay Region.

Because of the subject matter, children under 18 may not participate in this course.
