Join us on a journey through Canada's breathtaking Rocky Mountains, following the mighty Kicking Horse River, and passing by historic landmarks from the early era of Canada's national railway on our historic First Passage to the West route. This iconic route holds legendary status for its pivotal role in uniting Canada and linking British Columbia to the rest of the nation over 125 years ago. Rocky Mountaineer stands as the exclusive passenger rail service on this route, connecting Vancouver, British Columbia, to Lake Louise and Banff, Alberta.
Step aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train at Vancouver Station at 7:30 AM PT. Embark on a journey from the coastal city of Vancouver to Kamloops, nestled in the heart of British Columbia's interior. Today's adventure promises a captivating transformation of landscapes, from the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley to dense forests and meandering river canyons surrounded by the towering peaks of the Coast and Cascade Mountains, culminating in the arid beauty of the BC Interior.
The day's highlights include witnessing the rushing waters of Hell's Gate in the Fraser Canyon and marveling at the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River. Your day concludes as the Rocky Mountaineer gracefully follows the shores of Kamloops Lake, arriving in Kamloops between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM PT. You can choose to spend the evening exploring the charming city of Kamloops or simply unwind in the comfort of your hotel room. Please note that all hotels in Kamloops are of moderate standard, and your hotel assignment will be provided after booking. Enjoy your meals of breakfast and lunch during the journey.
Board the Rocky Mountaineer train at Kamloops Station at 6:25 AM PT, and continue your journey eastward toward the majestic Canadian Rockies and the province of Alberta. Once again, you'll be treated to a spectacular panorama of landscapes, traversing ranchlands, skirting rocky lakeshores, ascending high mountain passes, and passing through the historic tunnels that contribute to the rich rail heritage of the Canadian Rockies.
Today's highlights include a stop at Craigellachie, the historic site where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven, the ascent over Rogers Pass, the dramatic Kicking Horse Canyon, the intriguing Spiral Tunnels, and, of course, the awe-inspiring glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies. Your remarkable rail journey comes to a close this evening as you arrive in Banff, expected between 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM MT. Enjoy your meals of breakfast and lunch during this leg of the journey.
