About Route of the Hiawatha

Nestled in the Bitterroot Mountains on the Montana/Idaho border this 16-mile trail is both beautiful and rich in history as one of the great engineering feats of the Milwaukee Road.
The Employee Experience
Every day is an adventure on the Route of the Hiawatha! This is a dynamic and fast-paced environment with guest service at the forefront of our operations.
