| Canadian Rockies by Rail | ||
Explore beautiful Vancouver and enjoy a 2-day rail journey on the Rocky Mountaineer® through the majestic Canadian Rockies. Set amid the Coast Mountains and on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver offers the best of city life and nature’s beauty. Use your Vancouver Trolley Attractions Tour to explore the city. After that you have time for independent activities. Visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge or hike on one of the three local mountains. Visit the Vancouver Aquarium or rent a bike and see the woodland, wildlife, and beaches of Stanley Park. Then, board the Rocky Mountaineer for a 2-day, all-daylight, classic rail journey from the Pacific Coast to the Canadian Rockies. Travel through the fertile Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon. See spectacular sights such as Shuswap Lake, the Monashee Mountains, and Glacier National Park. Travel through the heart of the Selkirk Mountains before entering the spectacular Yoho National Park. The train winds through the Spiral Tunnels before climbing Kicking Horse Pass. Cross the Continental Divide into the Province of Alberta to Banff, “Canada’s Highest Town.” In Banff, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour and plenty of time on your own to discover Banff National Park. Ride the gondola up Sulphur Mountain for spectacular mountain views, canoe to the Vermillion Lakes, or explore the natural hot springs at the Cave & Basin. Wander around the historic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel or shop the downtown area.
