not really..from dodge it barely touches CO..only in La Junta and then goes south towards LA.
the other option is picking up a separate route in northern colorado..say in mccook, NE and then take that all the way west to san fran, and then rent a car and drive south to LA
I think I'm going to take the one into la junta..rent a car and drive north, do some camping, and then pick up the other train to san fran and drive the coast
