Amtrak can often be a great way to get from point a to point b, whether going on a short day trip or a long excursion. When on longer trips, travelers may encounter Gigi Love performing as part of a partnership between the National Park system and Amtrak.

In fact, a number of songs are included on a full length album titled National Parks Centennial Songs.

Although, unlike past journeys, the singer-songwriter also performed at the National Parks as well as aboard different train routes across the country.
