Watch The WORLD'S MOST SCENIC RAILWAYS
Early in 2019 Michael Portillo travelled from Kamloops to Banff, trying his hand at serving gourmet meals to the Gold Leaf restaurant car. The food is AMAZING!
There are many options for journeys on The Rocky Mountaineer, the most popular being between Banff and Vancouver. This route travels through the amazingly engineered 'corkscrew tunnels' of the Rocky Mountains. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way!

SUGGESTIONS TO EXTEND YOUR HOLIDAY after the Rocky Mountaineer
Car or campervan hire can be enjoyed throughout Canada. A popular option is to fly you in to Calgary, see the sights, hire a car and drive through to Banff and Jasper and on to the Rocky Mountaineer to Vancouver. Perhaps then extend with another car hire, maybe over to Vancouver Island, or to add on another epic road trip head south to Seattle and down the Pacific Coast to California!
