Scratch Paris, decided on The Great North American Railroad Adventure. The key to the out bound side of the trip was securing 4 nights lodging in East Glacier Montana – a modest little village with much to be modest about. But, the train stops there at a civilized hour. Lodging is within walking distance of the station. And, it might be possible to connect with a couple of day bus tours of Glacier National Park from town.
Next I must nail down train passage from here to Chicago, Chicago to East Glacier, East Glacier to Seattle. And, figure out what to do next.
Oh, the hard to get motel room in East Glacier Montana – July 24 – 27. The Whistling Swan Motel.
