Amtrak Adventure - Day 29 - West Glacier, Montana to St Paul, Minnesota

Day 29 and we were back on the tracks again. This time headed for St Paul, Minnesota, a twenty-four hour trip. The journey took us through Glacier National Park via the Marias Pass, a route through the Rockies which was originally sought by Lewis and Clark, but finally discovered by John Stevens in 1889 with the help of a Blackfoot Indian Guide.

Amtrak Adventure - Day 25 - Seattle

Day 25 brought rain. Given it was our first major wet day in the whole trip, we couldn’t really complain, but of course it had to happen on the day when we planned to visit the Olympic Sculpture Park, an outdoor exhibition near the river. 

We abandoned our first attempt to get there in favor of tea and donuts in the Top Pot CafĂ© on 6th Avenue and our second by dropping back into Pike Place Market, each time getting a little closer to our destination before the skies opened up again.
