Western Canada By Rail

Day 1 - CALGARY Welcome to Calgary! Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions.
Day 2 - CALGARY - BANFF NATIONAL PARK The discovery of oil converted this cattle-ranching town into a thriving, sophisticated city. Sightseeing highlights downtown, Fort Calgary, Stampede Park, the Saddledome, and Canada Olympic Park. Next, drive west through the foothills of the Rockies into Banff National Park. On arrival, enjoy an orientation tour.
Day 3 - BANFF NATIONAL PARK Today is at leisure. Play golf, horseback ride, hike the many wilderness trails in the area, stroll through Banff, or simply relax at the hot springs. The park is the perfect place for wildlife watching, and you may spot some of these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. The most commonly seen are deer and big horn sheep.
Day 4 - BANFF NATIONAL PARK - LAKE LOUISE - COLUMBIA ICEFIELD - JASPER NATIONAL PARK First stop is Lake Louise, with its cold waters reflecting the surrounding mountains and glaciers.

Another highlight is a stop at the Columbia Icefield to experience the Ice Explorer, an all-terrain vehicle that travels on ice measuring 750 feet thick. Late this afternoon, join our optional float trip down the historic Athabasca River. In Jasper, an orientation tour showcases the area's unspoiled beauty. Accommodation for the next two nights is in Jasper National Park.
Day 5 - JASPER NATIONAL PARK Join the optional narrated cruise on Maligne Lake to Spirit Island. On the return journey, view picturesque Medicine Lake and Maligne Canyon.

While exploring the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies keep an eye out for native wildlife, including grizzly bears, moose, elk, and wolves.
Day 6 - JASPER NATIONAL PARK - MOUNT ROBSON - ROCKY MOUNTAINEER - KAMLOOPS An exciting morning as you board the Rocky Mountaineer for a 2-day, all-daylight, classic rail journey from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Coast.

Day 7 - KAMLOOPS - ROCKY MOUNTAINEER - VANCOUVER Reboard your train and head through the ranchlands along the Thompson River. Continue through the stark beauty of Fraser Canyon and the turbulence of mighty Hell's Gate. After an evening arrival in Vancouver, transfer to your hotel. (B,L)
Day 8 - VANCOUVER - FERRY CROSSING - VICTORIA Morning sightseeing focuses on Vancouver's Chinatown, Gastown, and lovely Stanley Park. Afterward, sail through the spectacular Gulf Islands, known for their Mediterranean-like climate.

Day 9 - VICTORIA - FERRY CROSSING - VANCOUVER Morning departure for Vancouver. The trip ends at Vancouver International Airport. Please schedule flights after 1:30 pm.
