Picture this: soaring mountains, stunning glaciers and lakes, lush evergreen forests and you soaking it all in from the comforts of a plush rail coach. This is exactly what a Rocky Mountaineer Vacation is all about, and once you’ve seen Canada from this vantage point, any doubt you had that our homeland is one of the world’s most beautiful countries will definitely be cast aside. One of the most popular trips offered is the two-day excursion, which follows the historic train route constructed over 100 years ago through Canada’s West and the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The journey begins in Calgary and winds its way through Banff, Lake Louise and Kamloops, where you will depart the train for a hotel stay, then climb aboard in the morning for the final leg of the journey, which concludes in Vancouver. For the ultimate journey, book two seats in Gold Leaf Service to experience panoramic views from the Gold Leaf gold dome coach, and gourmet cuisine in the coach’s dining room. If you want to spend more time on the rails, the Rocky Mountaineer offers a host of other vacation packages. One of the biggest is the Trans-Canada Rail Adventure, which combines rail and bus tours stretching from Vancouver all the way to Toronto!
