Depart from Kamloops in the morning and travel along the shore of the North Thompson River. Passing through charming farming communities, you’ll eventually reach the Rocky Mountain Trench— sometimes called the Valley of a Thousand Peaks.

There will be plenty of chances to spot wildlife and you’ll get an exclusive view of Pyramid Falls. Before your approach to Jasper, Mount Robson—the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies—will be there to greet you. Spend tonight in your Jasper hotel room.

Today you’re riding along the most beautiful highway in Canada—the Icefields Parkway. Highlights include stops at the powerful Athabasca Falls, the Columbia Icefield, Peyto Lake, Bow Lake and Crowfoot Glacier. Pose for your new profile picture at one of these breathtaking locations.

The highlight of the day will be at the Athabasca Glacier where you will climb aboard the Ice Explorer—a specialized bus that travels directly on to the glacier. Relax and listen as your guide explains all about its natural wonders. Tonight, you’ll be sleeping in style in your room at the picturesque Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Your motorcoach leaves in the morning and offers you a guided tour of the area between Lake Louise and Banff. Cross the Continental Divide, and pass through Yoho National Park, with sights such as Takakkaw Falls, Kicking Horse Pass, Emerald Lake and the Natural Rock Bridge that spans across the Kicking Horse River. You will spend the next two nights in your hotel in the famously friendly mountain resort town of Banff.

Today you’ll be on a 5-hour guided tour through the towering Rundle, Tunnel, Cascade and Norquay Mountains. Learn about the wind-shaped hoodoos and experience Surprise Corner along Tunnel Mountain Drive.

Take a gentle gondola ride up to the top of Sulphur Mountain for fantastic views, interpretive boardwalks and photo opportunities. The rest of the afternoon in Banff is yours to spend walking some local trails, playing golf or relaxing as you choose.

Toast to being back aboard the Rocky Mountaineer! Once again, you’ll be passing by the snow-peaked mountains and crystal-clear waters that our country is famous for. This time highlights include; the Spiral Tunnels, Kicking Horse Canyon and Rogers Pass.

A dramatic change of scenery will take place as you approach the ranchlands of the interior plateau. You’ll spend another night in your Kamloops hotel room.

You’re on your way back to the coast today. Dine on locally sourced, gourmet meals as you wind through the changing scenery and take in that fresh mountain air. You’ll have spent four full days aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train and we hope this last day is as magical as the rest have been.
