Canadian Rockies & Jasper featuring Rocky Mountaineer

Take a remarkable journey through the stunning landscapes, charming towns and beautiful lakes of the Canadian Rockies. As arrival times will vary, today is yours to settle in and soak up the city at your own pace. Take a walk, find a café, and let the anticipation build.

This morning, follow Stanley Park’s seawall during your Vancouver sightseeing tour. Take in views of the mountains alongside trails, beaches, historical landmarks, and gardens in full color from within this urban rainforest. This afternoon, make your way to Granville Island Public Market, where local artisan food producers and handmade craft makers fill every stall. As evening falls, enjoy dinner with your fellow travelers at a local restaurant.

All aboard Rocky Mountaineer – and your single-level dome coach is the best seat in the house. Beyond the glass, coastal forests open up to river canyons and snowcapped peaks as you move through the Fraser Valley and the Coast Mountains. Keep your eyes on the Fraser River and look down at the churning white water of Hell's Gate far below. The scenery shifts one more time – from mountain drama to open, semi-arid desert – as you arrive in Kamloops for the night.*

Heading east this morning, the Canadian Rockies take full shape around you. This is the legendary rail route that helped unite Canada as a nation — and passing through the century-old Spiral Tunnels along the Kicking Horse River, the history of it is tangible. Cross the Continental Divide with your eyes on the tree line: moose, elk, bighorn sheep, osprey, eagles, and the occasional bear all call this corridor home. Raise a glass for a final toast before pulling into the alpine town of Jasper as evening falls.
