Overview
Discover Canada’s mountain grandeur on a unique itinerary into wild realms others rarely see. Begin in coastal Vancouver, surrounded by lush evergreen forest and backdropped by the icy peaks of the Coast Range. Aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, follow tracks into history along a stunning rail route that opened the Canadian West. Our train wends its way through rocky canyons cut by mighty rivers, the world’s only inland temperate rainforest, and successive mountain ranges—Selkirks, Purcells and Bugaboos—each sheerer and steeper than the last. Finally, we reach the Canadian Rockies. Among the most imposing mountains on Earth, Canada’s grandest peaks are home to elk, bighorn sheep, bears and wolves. From an exclusive fly-in lodge, enjoy helicopter-supported exploration and hiking in alpine meadows, knowing you are among very few travelers who will experience this sublime wilderness.
