The Rocky Mountaineer leaves early in the morning, headed to the charming rural town of Quesnel, gateway to the North Cariboo. Take in the breathtaking and varied scenery, from the river canyons and lush farmland of the Pemberton Valley, through the desert-like conditions of the Fraser Canyon. Pass through the rolling hills and vast ranchlands of the Cariboo Plateau, enjoying all the highlights along the way. These include the magnificent shorelines of Anderson Lake and Seton Lake, breathtaking views of the Fraser Canyon, and the crossing of Deep Creek Bridge, one of the highest railway bridges in the world. Breakfast and lunch are provided aboard the train.

The train makes its way east and approaches the phenomenal snow topped Rocky Mountains and Jasper National Park. You will be surrounded by dramatic scenery as you follow the Fraser River north to the city of Prince George. Next, you’ll make your way through the forests of northern British Columbia, home to many types of wildlife, including a large population of moose. As you enter the Rocky Mountain Trench, you will observe the Rocky Mountains to the north and the Cariboo Mountains to the south. As you climb past Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, you will eventually make your way through Yellowhead Pass into Alberta before arriving in the town of Jasper. Breakfast and lunch are provided aboard the train.
