For Californians, crossing the fabled Donner Pass and descending to Lake Tahoe is one of those essential rites of passage. But forget doing it in a car.
Crossing up and over the fabled Donner Pass in the northern Sierra Nevada and descending to Lake Tahoe is one of those essential rites of passage for Californians. But forget doing it in a car.

The cheeseburger with chips was solid as ever but the buttercake from Frank & Louie's Italian Specialties in Delaware was new and it was mind-blowing. If you stay on the train long enough for dinner, the Amtrak Steak has never let me down. As we ate, the Sierra Foothills started to appear out the window as we made our way up the mountains along a ridge. You can peer down into the amazing intricate forested canyons carved by the North Fork American River and its tributaries.
