East Glacier Park, MT is the main gateway station into Glacier National Park. The station house is in a large log cabin that was built by the Great Northern Railway as a way to premote tourism into the Park From the Railine. It is a full service Amtrak station, and was a fresh-air stop when I was on the Eastbound Empire Builder. It is only open during the summer months (May-September), and during the winter months the stop is moved 18 miles east to Browning, MT, down in the plains on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation (This stop is much more primitive).
