As mentioned in my other thread, I am planning on a visit to Glacier in June 2019. I am not sure if I want to fly into Kalispell then grab a shuttle to Glacier or fly to Seattle and take the EB into Glacier. (I have given up the idea of riding my bike from Kalispell/Whitefish, either the main road is too busy or the back road too bear infested
)
I have been on the EB out of Seattle once before. I really enjoyed the ride through the Cascades. I am sort of opting for repeating the trip and just flying out to Seattle.
I know I can leave from Portland too but the Cascades seem to be a lot more interesting than the Columbia River Gorge. Plus there is much of the Cascades I just don't remember. It would be nice to have a refresher.
At first I thought it was going to be significantly more expensive to take the train into Glacier. But thanks to the Amsnag suggestion in the other post, it really is not all that bad. Just seems a round about way to get to Glacier.
So thoughts? Is the ride through the Cascades worth it as I at least seem to remember?
