The Empire Builder

From Chicago we will board the Empire Builder to Seattle. Amtrak's guide to the Empire Builder says,

"In Montana — Big Sky Country — you will encounter Glacier National Park, filled with immense valleys that were carved by huge ice flows thousands of years ago. Year-round snow and freezing waterfalls add to the aura. Two thousand lakes and a thousand miles of rivers are tucked into forests and meadows around the park.
