Glacier National Park Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago
6-day Chicago roundtrip rail getaway to Glacier National Park
Amtrak Vacations packages this 6-day, 5-night roundtrip from Chicago to Glacier National Park on the Empire Builder in Coach class, with 2 nights spent onboard the train and 3 nights at the Glacier Park Lodge. The trip includes the Big Sky Circle Tour along Going-to-the-Sun Road, a boat cruise on Two Medicine Valley, and 5 meals at the lodge, plus time to explore the park on your own. The evidence does not break the trip down day by day, so the order of activities within the 3-night park stay is not specified. This suits travelers who want a single roundtrip rail journey to one destination, with the train fare, hotel, and main excursions bundled into one price rather than booked separately.
