Here is another choice:
Montana Rockies Rail Tours
They offer two kinds of tours. Fully Escorted Tours are rail only or
rail-motor coach packages that include the services of a Tour Director
from start to finish. Rail and Road Escapes combine a relaxing rail
experience with the freedom of self-drive touring.
“Spectacular Yellowstone and Glacier national parks in addition to the
sweeping landscapes of Idaho and Montana. With the 2003 season we're
expanding to offer packages from the gateway cities of Seattle and
Denver. Our tours now encompass Grand Teton National Park and Wild

spotlight on western heritage with itineraries that emphasize Lewis
and Clark, Buffalo Bill Cody, the Little Bighorn Battlefield and many
other historic sites. We're even heading into Canada's incredible
