Coast Starlight travels daily between Los Angeles and Seattle, passing through Santa Barbara, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and Portland. From big city views to nearly 350 miles of California coastline, it’s no wonder that the Coast Starlight is considered to be one of the best and most scenic trips in North America. On this route you’ll ride through unsurpassed mountains and rolling hills, including Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Rainier — all before arriving in Seattle. Take your small dog or cat along with you on the train. Before you go, learn more about the types of pets allowed, pet reservations and fares, approved pet carriers and additional details: Amtrak Pet Program Guidelines.
Taking a pet to the United States involves preparation and planning far in advance of your departure date. Health certificates may be required for entry into some states; you should check with officials in your state of destination prior to your travel date. Find info on bringing a pet into the U.S.
