ROCKY MOUNTAINEER TRAIN JOURNEY: HAPPY RAILS TO YOU

BY JANET STEINBERG

All aboard!  Time to go clickity-clacking the Canadian Rockies.
Though most of Western Canada is painted white by a blanket of dense snow between November and April, now is the time to start thinking about, or planning for, that dream trip to the Canadian Rockies.

Riding the rails from Vancouver, British Columbia to Jasper, Alberta was one of the most relaxing, most scenic, most memorable, trips I have ever taken.  Come along with me as I take you on a trip across a land of abundant wildlife, majestic snowy peaks, glittering glacial lakes, roaring waterfalls and towering trees.

My husband and I donned our Rocky Mountaineer engineer’s caps and boarded the Rocky Mountaineer train, for one of the optional rail tours offered by Rocky Mountaineer Vacations.  We were eager to ride the rails across that same historic route that would reveal the scenic wonders of the Canadian Rockies.  And to think, all of this was to be up close and in daylight hours.
