(11,780 posts)28. I took an overnight trip from Portland to Montana
I don’t remember the city, maybe Kalispel? It was an awesome way to travel. Probably didn’t cost anymore than it would if we’d flown and rented a car. We got the delux room, spans the width of a car. I think it even had its own bathroom but can’t remember for sure. Me and my wife and toddler child.

Mrs. Putz and I did Portland on the train for our 40th anniversary and stayed at the Benson. Great time.

you'll be snug, btw, these trains are usually old, no USB ports on the California Zephyr so take a 110 adapter
