through Montana between Chicago, Seattle, and Portland, is the only train service in the two
states. Most of the stops are in the far northern part of Montana, which can be acceptable
if you are going to Glacier National Park, but otherwise the train stops are long distances
from the major population centers.

Montana and Wyoming have many options for those cycling through. Numerous back
roads and accessible campgrounds make for some fun trips, but be prepared for long-dis-
tance rides and not much company. Both the Wyoming and Montana transportation web-
sites (
www.wyoroad.info
,
www.mdt.mt.gov/travinfo
)
offer excellent information for cyc-
lists. You can order a
Montana Bicycle Touring Packet
online, as well as download maps
and road grade information from each site.
