THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Arrive in Calgary, pick up your rental car and enjoy your scenic drive through the foothills towards the expansive Rocky Mountains. Arrive in Banff at the very centre of Canada’s very first National Park. Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies, the town of Banff is located within the Banff National Park. Once “Siding 29” on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the town of Banff was intended to be a tourist town from its very inception. The town of Banff is a spirited place and in every direction you are surrounded by strikingly beautiful and rugged mountains that seem to burst straight out of the ground. You may even see a herd of elk wandering down the main street during your early morning walk. The lively streets of downtown are lined with top-class restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as a vibrant range of art galleries and museums.
This morning continue your drive to Lake Louise, a jewel of the Rockies surrounded by glistening glaciers and towering snow-capped mountain peaks. You may have seen photos of the lake, but you will not be prepared for the experience of rounding the corner, getting the first sight of the emerald green and the rugged peaks as a backdrop. Next you will drive along the famous Icefields Parkway, where wildlife sightings of caribou, elk, and occasionally, bears, are common so keep your eyes and cameras handy. Travelling through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, know that your drive along the famous Icefields Parkway has been voted one of the most spectacular drives in the world. You will see for yourself why this mountain road that boasts a unique landscape rich in history and natural beauty second to none is so famous. Climbing from the valleys to nearly the tree line, experience three life zones, the montane, the subalpine and the alpine. Along the way, you might want to stop off at the Columbia Icefield (we can arrange a ride on an Ice Explorer or Glacier Skywalk at an additional add-on cost). Finally, at the end of this exciting day, you can see the Athabasca Falls before arriving at the charming town of Jasper. Should time allow you may want to explore the Maligne Valley this evening. Evening time is a popular time for wildlife sightings and an opportunity to see Maligne Canyon, Medicine Lake and Maligne lake.
Step onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train from Jasper to Kamloops, located in the heart of the British Columbia Interior. As you journey west and south you will be surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the Continental Divide and by the river valleys of the Monashee and Cariboo Mountains. Breakfast & lunch will be served onboard. Today's highlights include Mount Robson, Pyramid Falls, the climb over Yellowhead Pass, and the journey along the North Thompson River as you approach Kamloops. Upon arrival at the Kamloops Station, you will be transferred by motor coach to our overnight hotel.
Following your night stay at your Kamloops hotel, transfer by motor coach to the train station. Your journey continues west towards the Pacific Ocean and the coastal city of Vancouver. Today you will again see dramatic changes in scenery, from the desert-like environment of the Interior, through winding river canyons and pristine forests, to the Coast and Cascade Mountains and the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley. Highlights include the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River and the rushing waters of Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon. You'll arrive at your hotel this evening with time to explore on your own.
Your package ends upon check out of your hotel this morning. However, before departing Vancouver there are so many sights and activities to be enjoyed before you depart. You might like to explore Vancouver's sea wall by bike, the worlds longest uninterrupted waterfront path. Or maybe discover the totem poles in Stanley park or the abundance of other activities that the city has to offer.
