Locations Along the Journey
Mount Robson
Vast mountain landscapes, rugged ravines and untamed wilderness stretch out before you during your Rocky Mountains rail journey. Watch for the striking silhouette of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towering 3,954 metres above the surrounding landscape. Sometimes veiled by drifting cloud and snow, its dramatic presence creates one of the route’s most memorable moments.
Pyramid Falls
Accessible only by rail, Pyramid Falls offers a spectacular display of raw natural beauty. As your Rocky Mountaineer train passes nearby, witness water cascading powerfully down the steep mountainside while mist rises into the mountain air. The close proximity and fleeting views make this a truly special highlight of the journey.
Spiral Tunnels
The Spiral Tunnels, completed in 1909, stand as one of the great engineering achievements of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Built to navigate the steep terrain of the Rockies safely, this remarkable system still impresses today. As the train winds through the tunnels, you may spot the locomotive curving above or below your carriage, showcasing the ingenuity of this historic route.
Shuswap region
Leaving Kamloops behind, journey east through the picturesque Shuswap region, known for its glistening lakes, rolling hills and forested landscapes. As the railway follows the shoreline, enjoy ever-changing views of tranquil waterways and charming communities before the dramatic peaks of the Rockies begin to rise once more.
