Whitefish and Glacier National Park Getaway

Whitefish and Glacier National Park getaway, rail booked separately

Illustration of Whitefish and Glacier National Park Getaway

Amtrak Vacations sells this 3-day, 2-night package covering a stay in Whitefish, Montana, next to Glacier National Park, with rail travel there priced separately based on the accommodation level you choose from more than 500 Amtrak stations. The package includes 2 nights of hotel accommodations, a 3-day car rental, and a sightseeing tour of the park; depending on when you travel, that is either the Two Medicine Valley boat cruise (early June to early September) or the Big Sky Circle Tour (mid-June to mid-September). Whitefish is described as a charming alpine community. This suits travelers who already have Amtrak rail arranged, or are working with a Rail Expert to add it, and want a short, self-driven stay near the park.
