The Great Western Adventure

The train leaves at 3:35am and arrives in Whitefish at 8:56pm. With a Superliner Roomette the cost is $430. To upgrade to a bedroom w/ bathroom costs $847. Be sure to book the Empire Builder 7, not the 27.

Stay night in hotel and rent a car the next morning.

Suggestions for hotels..
1) Lodge At Whitefish Lake = best place in town. Cheapest room is $250. Includes a free shuttle from the train station. http://www.lodgeatwhitefishlake.com/
2) Holiday Inn Express = $135 rooms. Free shuttle from the train station.

Do not go for any rooms in Kalispell. It is too far from the train station.

You'll be there on the last day of the Fair. http://www.lewisandclarkcountyfairground…
