THE BEST WAY TO WINSLOW, ARIZ.

The train leaves from Los Angeles Union Station at 6:45 p.m. and arrives in Winslow at 6:09 a.m. Returning, it leaves Winslow at 7:50 p.m. and arrives in L.A. at 8:15 a.m. Sleeping-car space may be scarce, so you should book your trip well in advance. Round-trip fares begin at $154; (800) 872-7245, www.amtrak.com.

WHERE TO STAY

La Posada, 303 E. 2nd St., Winslow; (928) 289-4366, www.laposada.org. The inn has a 90% occupancy rate year-round and usually fills up from March through December, so, again, booking well in advance is advisable. Doubles from $99.
