Viewing Album:  A Ride on the Empire Builder
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:7/24/2019 - 7/26/2019
Album Info:Yep, we took a ride on it-the whole route, Portland leg! By the end of the trip, I had been to 38 states (would've only been 37 if I'd gone to Seattle). The Empire Builder is a very scenic ride-I'd try to summarize, but on a ride that long, you see all sorts of sights or terrain, so it's really tough to do so. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that's probably true here. If you're ever looking for an awesome travel idea, though, definitely consider the Empire Builder-you'll love it!
