ENCOUNTER WILDERNESS IN THE MOST COMFORTABLE WAY.
This rail route takes you through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with nature’s raw beauty on full display.
“From start to finish. This experience was fantastic . The scenery was stunning. The service was excellent and the food was amazing... You will not be disappointed. We made lots of memories on our trip.”
By geological standards, the Canadian Rockies are a relatively young mountain range. And because they’re so remote, they are essentially untouched. Our Journey through the Clouds rail route takes you through some of the most breathtaking and pristine natural beauty on the planet.
Train Day 1 Train Day 2
Board Rocky Mountaineer in the urban oasis of Vancouver, British Columbia, and journey through the fertile farmlands of the Fraser Valley. Watch as the landscape transforms into the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains. You’ll see the mighty Fraser River and the whitewater of Hell’s Gate. Soon, the scenery undergoes another dramatic shift and you’ll find yourself amid a desert-like landscape peppered with sagebrush. The day’s journey comes to a stop in the city of Kamloops, where you will overnight at a hotel.
After spending the night in charming Kamloops, you will board the train and follow the North Thompson River, slowing to take in the 91.5-metre (300 ft.) cascade of Pyramid Falls before continuing to Yellowhead Pass. Gliding by teal-green lakes, you’ll close in on Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies. It’s so high that it has its own weather system. This rail route features a succession of spectacular sights, each more impressive than the last. To cap it off, you’ll wind up in the picturesque alpine town of Jasper.
