Rocky Mountaineer 2 Day Vancouver to Jasper
1 night
Journey Through The Clouds
This spectacular Rocky Mountaineer itinerary takes you on an amazing train journey through the beautiful landscape of Western Canada taking in Jasper, Kamloops and Vancouver with an overnight stop in Kamloops. This runs in both directions every few days from the end of April until the beginning of October.
As an alternative you can choose The Rainforest to Goldrush Adventure which travels between Whistler and Jasper, or the First Passage to the West which travels between Vancouver and Banff or Calgary.
Vancouver to Kamloops
Rocky Mountaineer highlights between Vancouver and Kamloops:
Fraser Canyon - Marvel at the Fraser Canyon as you exit the Coast Mountains. This deep canyon is a natural wonder that extends all the way to the town of Hope, with steep sides soaring up to 600 metres (1980 feet) above the water.
Hell’s Gate - The thundering waters of the renowned tourist attraction, Hell’s Gate, are a fascinating sight. Located at the most narrow and intimidating point in the Fraser River, as much as 909,218,000 litres (200 million gallons) of water surge through the 33.53 metre (110 foot) gorge each minute.
The Last Spike – A symbol of determination. You will pass the stone cairn of Craigellachie where the last railroad spike was driven linking Canada’s railway from coast to coast. The landmark is named after a large rock in Banffshire County, Scotland where Donald Smith, who drove in the last spike, had grown up.
1 night in Kamloops.
Kamloops to Jasper
Rocky Mountaineer highlights between Kamloops and Jasper:
Pyramid Falls - This waterfall cascades 91.5 metres (300 feet) beside the train tracks, and to maximize your sightseeing the train will slow to allow for an up-close view.
Albreda Icefields - Albreda, like other glaciers in the Rockies, is a permanent snowfield (the amount of snowfall exceeds snowmelt each year). The weight of accumulated snow compresses layers beneath it into ice, which then melts, pushing the newly formed glacier downhill. This movement grinds the rocks beneath it into a fine powder, which, when deposited into the lakes and rivers surrounding the glacier, turns the water into a beautiful shade of turquoise blue.
Mount Robson - The highest peak in the Rockies. At a height of 3,956.5 metres (12,972 feet) and dropping into Berg Lake in the North and Kinney Lake in the South, this heavily glaciated mountain towers over the peaks that surround it.
Jasper National Park - This is accessible Canadian wilderness at its best, and the town of Jasper makes a convenient base to explore the hiking trails, lakes and wildlife of the surrounding area.
