SUMMARY:Glacier National Park New Year's Trip
DESCRIPTION:Essex\, MT\nDec. 29\, 2025 - Jan. 2\, 2026\, Mon - Fri\nAll Abi
 lities\n\nImagine cross-country skiing in the Glacier National Park area o
 ver New Years! Imagine leaving your car at home over this busy holiday and
  taking Amtrak overnight to Montana. Imagine the opportunity to do track s
 kiing and/or backcountry skiing! Imagine doing this with your new and old 
 ONC friends! That is what the ONC-PDX Glacier National Park trip to Essex\
 , Montana\, is all about!\n\nIf you have such an imagination\, you should 
 join the New Year’s Montana ski trip from December 29 to January 1.\n\nW
 e will take Amtrak overnight to Essex\, Montana\, adjacent to Glacier Nati
 onal Park\, for a wonderful ski vacation! We will leave Portland on Monday
  late afternoon\, December 29\, and arrive Tuesday morning to (hopefully) 
 sparkling snow and the completely remodeled Loge Glacier (formerly Izaak W
 alton Inn) with new comfortable beds and private bathrooms. From Tuesday t
 hrough Thursday\, we will ski or snowshoe on the 30 km of groomed trails o
 r explore the backcountry in the Magnificent Dickey Bowl or possibly Maria
 s Pass and other trails. Relax in the Finnish sauna or Olympic-size hot tu
 b. Each night\, we can enjoy a gourmet meal in the restaurant\, read a goo
 d book by the fire\, participate in exciting ONC board games\, have a drin
 k in the bar\, or relax. A New Year’s Eve party is supposedly planned by
  Loge Glacier. On Thursday night\, January 1\, we will board the westbound
  overnight train back to Portland in the evening. As we pull back into the
  train station in Portland on Friday\, January 2\, you will wonder why you
  waited so long to take this trip.\n\nTrip limit:  18 participants includ
