The wheels turn and the train moves slowly forward as you wave goodbye and your wonderful rail journey begins. Explore one of Amtrak's most legendary and scenic routes as we board the Empire Builder for our trip east through the soaring mountain ranges of the Big Sky Country. Enjoy dinner in the diner before nestling in for the night. See the feature film, "Glacier Park" in the lounge car in anticipation of tomorrow's adventure. As we Leave Whitefish Montana, the train follows the Flathead River for eighty miles as it skirts the southern boundary of Glacier National Park and crosses the Continental Divide at Marias Pass, the lowest rail crossing of the Divide in the United States. Upon arrival at Glacier Park, our mode of transportation will change to a 1930s vintage convertible touring bus to view the extraordinary scenery offered on the Going-to-the-Sun Highway. The afternoon is exciting as we ascend Logan Pass, surrounded by craggy mountains, glaciers, veil-like waterfalls, lush alpine meadows and wild life. Two nights are spent in this glorious part of the world before we board the train to Seattle.
