Travelin’ the Rails~ that’s what Alex and Lexi did through the northwestern USA. Their trip began in the big sky country of Montana. They weren’t disappointed when they spotted a grizzly in Glacier National Park, but their hearts did hurt while walking the Little Bighorn Battlefield. On the train again, they saw herds of buffalo while traveling through North Dakota. Everyone agreed Mt. Rushmore was definitely a highlight in South Dakota.
Nebraska was a trip across “America’s fruited plains. It wasn’t hard to imagine the westward migrations that took place across these very plains. What fun it was to watch the little prairie dogs run, play and then disappear down their hole. Wyoming was so intriguing with its “Old West” feel, Old Faithful and the rodeos. No one was happy when their conductor announced it was time to disembark! What an amazing “riding the rails” it had been!
