Leave late afternoon from downtown Seattle or Portland and experience the smooth and quiet adventure of the train on an easy overnight ride, with an early morning arrival in Whitefish. The ride from Chicago and Minneapolis unveils the wide-open landscape of the American West.

Family sleeping cars, dining and viewing cars, help make the trip more enjoyable. Enjoy the views, read a book and have dinner in the dining car. Retire to your sleeping cabin or spacious coach seat. When you wake in the morning you'll be in Whitefish! The train back to Seattle or Portland departs Whitefish in the evening and returns to Seattle or Portland the next morning.

Because the train travels to and from Whitefish largely during the night, you won't need to spend any of your vacation days in the airport or on the highway.

When you travel by Amtrak's Empire Builder, your vacation begins when you climb on-board. A train experience provides you the time and space to truly relax and enjoy the scenery or a good book.
