Tours Featuring This Route
First Passage to the West is the only passenger rail service through the Spiral Tunnels, travelling entirely in daylight over two days with an overnight stay in Kamloops. The route follows the original Canadian Pacific line, passing Craigellachie, where the railway’s last spike was driven in 1885. Living and working in the Rockies, our team has taken this journey ourselves and can offer firsthand guidance on choosing between SilverLeaf and GoldLeaf Service.
