Day 1(Vancouver to Kamloops - by Rocky Mountaineer Rail)

Travel aboard the Rocky Mountaineer from the coastal city of Vancouver to Kamloops in the heart of British Columbia’s
interior. On today’s journey you will see dramatic changes in scenery, from the lush green fields of the Fraser River Valley,
through forests and winding river canyons surrounded by the peaks of the Coastal Mountains, to the desert-
like environment of the interior. Highlights include the rushing waters of Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon and the steep
slopes and snow sheds along the Thompson River. Your day concludes as the Rocky Mountaineer travels along the
shores of Kamloops Lake and on to your overnight destination of Kamloops.

Day 2 (Kamloops to Jasper - by Rocky Mountaineer Rail)
Your journey continues north and east to the mighty Canadian Rockies and the province of Alberta. Once again you will

and Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 metres (12,972 feet), as well as the climb
over Yellowhead Pass and into Jasper National Park. Your rail journey ends upon arrival in the resort town of Jasper this

on the Athabasca Glacier! Overnight in Lake Louise.
