Rocky Mountaineer
Kicking Horse Route
Day 1: Vancouver to Kamloops Journey onboard the famed Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Kamloops, in the arid heart of British Columbia. Passing through the lush Fraser River Valley, you will travel in the shadows of the Coast and Cascade Mountains before encountering the steep cliffs and rapids at Hell's Gate. After leaving the course of the Fraser River, you will follow the clearer waters of the Thompson River into Kamloops. (BL) Overnight: Locally-assigned hotel, Kamloops Day 2: Kamloops to Banff/Calgary The Rockies await you today, as the train climbs past Shuswap Lake and into the foothills, passing ranchlands, rocky lakeshores and historic Craigellachie, where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven. Before you enter the Rockies, pass through the Spiral Tunnels and Yoho National Park before crossing over the Continental Divide into Banff National Park where your epic journey will end in the town of Banff, unless you decide to head to the Stampede City of Calgary. (BL) This journey is available in reverse
Yellowhead Route
Day 1: Vancouver to Kamloops Journey onboard the famed Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to the rugged British Columbia interior town of Kamloops. Following the same itinerary as day one on the Kicking Horse route, take time to admire the Fraser and Thompson Canyons. Sit back and make the most of the train, as you listen to the interpretative commentary provided by the onboard attendents. (BL) Overnight: Locally-assigned hotel, Kamloops Day 2: Kamloops to Jasper Head east into the Rockies today, following the North Thompson River through the Monashee and Cariboo Mountains, and getting ever nearer to the towering peaks that straddle the Continental Divide. You will pass by Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Rockies at 12,972 feet, and Pyramid Falls as you climb over Yellowhead Pass into Jasper National Park, where your dramatic rail journey ends in the Jasper townsite. Make your own way to your chosen hotel and enjoy the charms of this quaint and rugged mountain town. (BL) This journey is available in reverse
Fraser Discovery Route
Day 1: Whistler to Quesnel Journey onboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Whistler to Quesnel, the gateway to the North Cariboo Mountains. Pass through the river canyons and lush farmlands of the Pemberton Valley and onto the rolling hills of the Cariboo Plateau. Highlights of your day will include crossing over Deep Creek Bridge, one of the world's highest railway bridges, and the shorelines of the Anderson Lake and the glacier-fed Seton Lake, before following the banks of the Fraser River into Quesnel. (BL) Overnight: Locally-assigned hotel, Quesnel Day 2: Quesnel to Jasper Turn east from Quesnel and head north to the Rocky Mountains and Jasper National Park. As the train meanders through the forests of Northern British Columbia, keep your eyes peeled for bears and other wildlife such as moose, and gaze in awe as you journey through the Rocky Mountain Trench with the Rockies on one side and the Cariboo Mountains on the other.
