A trip on the Rocky Mountaineer is certainly one for the bucket list! Experience the magical Canadian West through the Rocky Mountains! This journey takes you between Vancouver and Calgary and includes the stunning mountain towns of Lake Louise and Jasper. Experience the Columbia Icefield on an Ice Explorer, the Glacier Skywalk and the Banff Gondola.
Your journey begins in Vancouver, where you’ll have one night to explore this scenic coastal city. Vancouver is known as the gateway to both the Canadian Rockies and Alaska! Discover Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, or take a small ferry to Granville Island for some grand dining and retail therapy.
The next day, you’ll board the Rocky Mountaineer heading to Kamloops. On today’s journey, you will see dramatic changes in scenery, from the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley, through forests and winding river canyons surrounded by the peaks of the Coast and Cascade Mountains, to the desert-like landscapes of the BC interior. Highlights include the rushing waters of Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon and the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River.
