Empire Builder
Chicago - St. Paul/Minneapolis - Spokane - Portland/Seattle
Marvel at the majesty of the northern United States as you travel over mountain passes, through alpine valleys and past 7,000-year-old glaciers. Glide by buttes and bluffs, along mountain streams and across the Mighty Mississippi. With stops in big cities and quaint mountain towns, the Empire Builder invites you to experience culture, nature and rapture in one grand adventure.
"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books."
