Whitefish and Glacier National Park Getaway Roundtrip from Philadelphia
Philadelphia roundtrip via Washington and Chicago to Whitefish and Glacier National Park
, and again to the Empire Builder in Chicago, all in Coach class. Whitefish is described as a charming mountain town with a small downtown of local shops and restaurants, next to Glacier National Park. A 3-day car rental is included for driving the Going-to-the-Sun Road, with the evidence naming Logan Pass and St. Mary's Lake among the views along the way. A seasonal sightseeing tour of the park, running July through September, is also included, along with 2 nights of hotel accommodations. Four of the trip's 6 nights are spent onboard the train across the three rail segments. The evidence does not give a day-by-day breakdown or name a specific hotel, so this suits Philadelphia-area travelers who want rail, a rental car, and the park's main sights bundled into one price.
