Yeah depends on the city pretty much.

Don't even bother with trains in say Los Angeles - they practically don't exist anymore.

Public transport... eh i'd try to stay off it as well. Thats mainly city wise.

I know they do have private shuttles between cities and what not you can check out. Amtrack and stuff is good for long distance between cities mainly IMO.

Its pretty nice going on a train from say LA to SF and what not.

You can always try to get a tour to like yellowstone or what not.

A Feb/March trip though may have a few problems. Most Nat'l Parks (Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc.) may still be closed - in fact IIRC many of them are til april/may due to the snow.

Hell i went to Bryce Canyon / Zion in Utah early April and i went into a friggin blizzard!

At that time NYC and WashDC are pretty nice. Personally I like the cold and snow so I went christmas and last year was like the first year NYC was snowing on christmas night! And the next day NYC had clear skies and it was awesome with all the snow and lights and stuff.

Las Vegas to Grand Canyon I know for sure has tours and trips and stuff you can go to. It depends if you like that stuff.

Nat'l Park wise Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone are all great sees on the West Coast/Midwest. Bryce Canyon also, Mt. Rushmore worht it too.

Swing by Chicago maybe if you're heading east, and the big cities in the East are all worth it too IMO.

Just going from DC to Philly to NYC to Boston then finally Niagra Falls took a good 5 days and that was pretty rushed. Its not that it took 5 days to drive, hell one day could do it easily, but just to see the better sites around / must-sees it was already pretty rushed.

Theres just so much IMO and personally i'd say concentrate on one section of the US at a time lol.
