ROCKY MOUNTAINEER OFFERS FOUR DISTINCT RAIL ROUTES
You now have the unenviable task of choosing between wonderful, fabulous, amazing, and fantastic.
Travelling between the coast and Banff or Lake Louise, you’ll witness mountains and wilderness, much of it seemingly unchanged since the days of the first explorers.
This route, the only one in America, includes canyons, deserts, and archways of the Southwest. You’ll cross the Continental Divide and journey through the Moffat Tunnel too.
This route takes you through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with all of nature’s raw beauty on fully display. Highlights include Mount Robson and the postcard-perfect Pyramid Falls.
Going from one extreme to the another, this route traverses the world’s largest temperate rainforest, linking it to the arid ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region.
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO GO
Anytime is the perfect time to travel onboard Rocky Mountaineer, as all seasons they operate in are beautiful.
AUTUMN (SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER)
The forests create a vibrant display of red, orange, and gold, mixed with evergreen. Snow frosts the mountain peaks. The animals forage through the wilderness to prepare for the coming winter.
| SPRING (APRIL-MAY) Lakes, streams, and waterfalls swell with the melting remnants of winter and snow-capped mountain peaks. Bears lumber out of hibernation. Flowers blossom. The wilderness comes alive and it’s yours to savour. |
| SUMMER (JUNE-AUGUST) Warm weather urges vegetation to flourish. Newborn animals emerge under their parent’s watchful eyes. The rainforest is at its most lush and the arid desert canyons have an especially rugged beauty. |
