Be careful with this idea; East Glacier train station is not actually in the park, and services at that station are limited (West Glacier even more so). It's possible to rent a car at East Glacier, but I expect it would be expensive. You can walk from the train station to a hotel, then be based out of there, but you will be dependent on the shuttle and bus services to explore the park. Some good details about the current situation in this thread; note that services have changed a lot around COVID, and any information from pre-2019 should be considered as out of date, and not reliable:

- bombcar 4y agoIf you like hiking, you can technically hike from town into the park - I've done it even with snow still on the ground. But depending on what you want to do in the area, you will want to plan ahead.
