[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] West Glacier does not have checked baggage. If this is a concern, Whitefish is only about 25 miles further with car rentals right in the beautiful station. It is also a delightful town. West Glacier is perfect for being closest to the parks major attractions. There is a shuttle from Amtrak to the Lodges in the park. If you are not renting a car, there are walking and bike paths into the park. Re the Jammer (red) buses: http://glacierparkinc.com/tour_detail.php?id=1 If your trip is in fall, keep in mind the buses quit running about mid-Sept. (snow). The Going-to-the Sun Highway should not be missed. I think your plan is a good one. If there is one place in the west to spend 2 days off the train, Glacier is arguably the best. As Mr. Kisor once said on this forum, "There is nothing like Glacier. Nothing." In my younger days I found nothing wrong with long distance in coach, even preferred it sometimes. It made me feel more like part of a group adventure. My kids liked it more than bedrooms. Some folks even crash overnight on the Sightseer Lounge floor to stretch out. Coming from the east, dawn on the vast Dakota plains is a unique experience. Some love it. There is just not much dramatic change for the whole day until Cut Bank. Plenty of time to explore the train. Oh, and when you leave the St. Paul depot, wave to the south about a mile out. I'm just 2 blocks away. [/QB][/QUOTE]
