DAY 3: GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Welcome to Chicago! This afternoon, board Amtrak to Glacier National Park for a scenic and relaxing ride on the famous Empire Builder. Watch as the mighty skyscrapers fade into miles upon miles of forested landscapes on your train bound for one of North America’s most beautiful national parks. (Overnight onboard Amtrak)
Wake up this morning well rested and ready for a full day adventure! There’s a reason Glacier National Park was established way back in 1910. This is a land worth preserving for its wild, natural beauty alone. First, take your Big Sky Circle tour of Glacier National Park from one of the iconic vintage 1930’s Red Busses. You’ll venture over Maria’s Pass, stop at Goat Lick for wildlife viewing, ascend to the high alpine region of the Going-to-the-Sun Road and more! You may even see an array of wildlife, including moose, grizzly bears, and black bears. The glacier-carved peaks and forest-filled valleys are sure to leave you in awe. (Overnight in Glacier National Park)
DAY 2: GLACIER NATIONAL PARK Enjoy a peaceful day on the train with views of magnificent landscapes as the train continues making its way to Glacier National Park. Relax in the Observation car as you travel through the North Dakota plains and Big Sky Country. The historic train stops along the edge of the Glacier National Park in western Montana. When you arrive, step off the train and breathe in the crisp air. Then, take a short walk from the train depot to the Glacier Park Lodge and check in for a two-night stay. Once you start exploring, you’ll fall in love with the park’s unforgettable scenery of sapphire lakes, mountain ridges, hanging valleys and memory-making opportunities. (Overnight in Glacier National Park)
