Experience the breathtaking transition from urban grandeur to natural splendor aboard Amtrak’s Adirondack. This international journey from New York City to Montreal unveils the majestic Hudson River Valley, its shores dotted with historic estates, before climbing into the wild, scenic heart of the Adirondack Mountains. As autumn foliage blazes or summer greens shimmer, the views are spectacular. Crossing into Canada, the landscape softens towards the European charm of Montreal. More than a commute, the Adirondack is a rolling canvas of some of the East Coast’s most stunning and diverse scenery, perfect for the contemplative adventurer.
