The British travel writer Anthony Sattin does America the leisurely way: from New York to California on an Amtrak train via the Jazz Age dazzle of Chicago, the Great Plains and an epic stretch of canyons and rivers between Denver and Salt Lake City. He explores Mormon culture and skips the casinos of Reno for hot springs and Burning Man reveries en route to Lake Tahoe. Finally, he arrives in San Francisco, with the Pacific under an ice-blue sky and a sense that taking things slow is the deeper way to go.
