De Beque Canyon, just west of Grand Junction.

There’s 20 more hours of train ride to California from this spot.

Yep. And if you are on the train on Thanksgiving, you hit it just as the sun is setting. And then you can have Thanksgiving dinner on the train, as is right and proper, and there’s nobody else to bother you in the observation car, and it’s perfect.

Two years ago, that’s what we did. Sigh.
