No. I am in Philly. There is no service to Missoula. Even if there was, it would take too long. Flew United and shipped the bikes UPS to a local shop.
Amtrak does serve Whitefish, where we started and ended a loop into Candan and back through Glacier N.P. in '09. That's another decent loop, although over all not quite as scenic as the one we did from Missoula. However, it's hard to beat the ride over Going to the Sun in Glacier.
