Travelling between the Pacific coast and Banff or Lake Louise, you’ll be immersed in mountains and untouched wilderness.
“This is a fabulous way to see the Canadian Rockies, which were magnificent. The views from the railroad are unlike anything you see by car, including the spiral tunnels. The staff were personable and helpful, the food was every bit as good as we had heard, and the views were spectacular.”
— Guest, 2022 – TripAdvisor ReviewOur most popular rail route, First Passage to the West retraces the historic Canadian Pacific Railway, famous for connecting British Columbia to the rest of Canada over 125 years ago.

The day’s journey comes to a stop in the city of Kamloops, where you will overnight at a hotel.
Your mountain adventure continues as you travel east along the South Thompson River.

— Guest, 2022 – TripAdvisor ReviewBy geological standards, the Canadian Rockies are a relatively young mountain range. And because they’re so remote, they are essentially untouched.
