We are thinking of doing an Empire Builder trip next May or June.
We have done the Ca Zephyr from CA to Boston and while we enjoyed the long train ride, we'd like to change things up this time.
We would fly from Boston to Portland Oregon (already been to Seattle King Station and the Cascades to Vancouver so wanted a different experience).
Thinking of spending a few days around Portland, then boarding the Empire Builder to Glacier National Park. Would like to get off the train for a few days, then pick it up again.
Looking for interesting other places to get off the train for a few days at a time and sight see along the Empire Builder route.
Trip can be about 11-12 day in total to get from Portland back to Boston.
Any suggestions for stops, places to stay, sights to see, food to eat, would all be welcome!
