I traveled around the USA for 32 days. USA is a very huge country.
It's very beautiful and fantastic. I left LA on September 7th.
I came back to LA on October 8th. I used Amtrak, rollerblade and bike.
I bought one-month Amtrak pass. It is very reasonable. I want to recommend you Amtrak's pass.
From September 7, off-pick season begins, so pass price is very cheap.
I want to recommend you backpack-travel of the USA using Amtrak.
On the Amtrak train, there are sightseeing rounges. You can drink coffee and talk with other people.
From San Diego to Seattle and from Seattle or Portland to Chicago, you should use Amtrak.
You can get a really beautiful secenery on the train. Beautiful Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain Range.
