The West Coast or Pacific Coast is the coastline along which the contiguous Western United States meets the North Pacific Ocean. As a region, this term most often refers to the coastal states of California, Oregon and Washington. More specifically, it refers to an area defined on the east by the Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.

Wine Country is an area of Northern California in the United States known worldwide as a premium wine-growing region. Viticulture and wine-making have been practiced in the region since the mid-19th century. There are over 400 wineries in the area north of San Francisco, mostly located in the area’s valleys, including Napa Valley in Napa County, and the Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Bennett Valley, and Russian River Valley in Sonoma County.

The Colorado Rockies capture a unique beauty during the transition between the rich green months of summer, and the frosty cold of the snowy winter.  During a brief window between the two, the rolling mountainside is draped in a beautiful tapestry of autumn colors.  Even for Colorado natives, it can be difficult to catch this lovely, albeit brief, seasonal transformation.  A virtual train ride through the region during the perfect changing of the leaves, at your convenience, can now be had at any time of the year.
