Rocky Mountaineer Rail Journey Itinerary

Day 1 - Vancouver to Kamloops
"All aboa-a-ard!" At Vancouver's Pacific Central Station, board the Rocky Mountaineer®. Pass through the fertile fields of the Fraser River Valley, past the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains before entering the Fraser Canyon. Follow the Thompson River to historic Kamloops, gateway to the interior of British Columbia. Overnight in moderate accomodation provided in Kamloops. Breakfast and lunch onboard. Dinner is included at your Kamloops hotel.

Day 2 - Kamloops to Calgary
Continue your journey eastward onboard the Rocky Mountaineer® to the Canadian Rockies and the mountain resort town of Banff. First, you will travel through vast ranchlands to Shuswap Lake before passing Craigellachie, where the "last spike" was driven completing the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885. Beyond Craigellachie is Rogers Pass with tunnels, glistening glaciers, and snowcapped mountains. Before crossing over the Continental Divide into Banff National Park, you will travel through the unique Spiral Tunnels in Yoho National Park, a remarkable engineering achievement. The train stops in Banff, but you'll continue to the Stampede City of Calgary by motorcoach. Breakfast and lunch onboard.
