Detailed Itinerary |
Day 1 Vancouver Arrival
Arrive in Vancouver and spend time exploring this scenic city on
your own. Overnight in Vancouver.
Day 2 Vancouver
to Whistler
Travel onboard the Whistler Mountaineer to the resort town of Whistler,
renowned for outstanding skiing and year-round outdoor activities.
Following your motorcoach transfer from downtown Vancouver, the
Whistler Mountaineer takes you on a breathtaking rail journey through
the stunning scenery of this Sea-to- Sky region. Highlights of
the trip include spectacular views across Howe Sound and the Coast
Mountains, Shannon Falls, Mount Garibaldi and the impressive Cheakamus
Canyon. On arrival at the Whistler train station, you will be transferred
to your hotel. Overnight in Whistler.
Day 3 Whistler
to Quesnel
Travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer to the charming rural town
of Quesnel, the gateway to the North Cariboo. Enjoy breathtaking
and varied scenery, from the river canyons and lush farmland of
the Pemberton Valley, to the desert-like conditions of the Fraser
Canyon, and the Cariboo Plateau with its rolling hills and vast
ranchlands. Highlights include the shorelines of Anderson Lake
and glacial-fed Seton Lake, sweeping views of the Fraser Canyon
and Deep Creek Bridge, one of the highest railway bridges in the
world. Your day concludes as the Rocky Mountaineer follows the
banks of the Fraser River into Quesnel. Overnight in Quesnel.
Day 4 Quesnel
to Jasper
Your journey continues eastward today to the majestic Canadian Rockies and Jasper
National Park. From Quesnel the Rocky Mountaineer follows the Fraser River north
to the town of Prince George and then travels east through the forests of Northern
British Columbia, home to plentiful wildlife including a large population of
moose. Entering the Rocky Mountain Trench you are surrounded to the north by
the steeply rising Rocky Mountains and to the south by the Cariboo Mountains.
Continue climbing past Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies
at 3,954 metres (12,972 feet), and through the Yellowhead Pass into the province
of Alberta. Your rail journey ends today on arrival in Jasper. Overnight in Jasper.

journey along the North Thompson River as you approach Kamloops. Overnight

green fields of the Fraser River Valley. Highlights include the steep slopes
