All aboard! Take Amtrak to your extended President’s weekend ski vacation! Leave Portland (Vancouver option available too) on Thursday afternoon and wake up Friday to sparkling snow and the cozy Izaak Walton Inn in Essex, Montana, located on the boundary of the spectacular Glacier National Park. On Friday, ski or snowshoe 30 km of groomed trails, go iceskating, or relax in the Finnish sauna. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet meal and read a good book by the fire or participate in exciting ONC board games. On Saturday and Sunday, we will hop on the rented van to explore the ski trails of Glacier National Park (Apgar, Marias Pass, Autumn Creek, Going to the Sun Highway, Dickie Bowl). On Monday, spend the day skiing around the trails around the lodge or skiing up to Dickey Bowl. We will board the westbound train Monday evening and as we pull back into the train station Tuesday morning, wondering why you waited so long to take this trip.
