Glacier National Park Getaway Roundtrip from Milwaukee
Roundtrip Amtrak Empire Builder rail getaway from Milwaukee to Glacier National Park
Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day, five-night independent rail getaway that travels roundtrip from Milwaukee to Glacier National Park on the Empire Builder, in coach class. The package centers on three nights at the historic Glacier Park Lodge, with 3 breakfasts and 2 dinners included, bookended by two nights spent onboard the train. Included touring covers the Big Sky Circle Tour on the park's red buses along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, plus a boat cruise on Two Medicine Valley Lake. The operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package, so the exact order of activities and travel days is not detailed here. It suits travelers who want a single-destination rail trip from Milwaukee without adding extra cities, and who plan around the tours' seasonal running dates.
Price history

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.
