The Capitol Corridor may connect Northern California’s most vibrant cities and towns, but did you know lush green nature alongside fresh bodies of water stirring with wildlife can be experienced just steps from some of our stations? Fortunately, state- and federally- protected nature reserves keep many vulnerable habitats a priority amidst all the surrounding urban development. Hop on board the Capitol Corridor for an outdoor adventure that will get you up close and personal with some of the awe-inspiring ecosystems along our route, listed here from south to north.
