Rocky Mountaineer: An Unforgettable Adventure

As a Rocky Mountaineer Ambassador, I am thrilled to help you embark on one of the world’s most spectacular rail journeys! From towering mountain landscapes to shimmering turquoise lakes and wildlife sightings, this iconic experience offers a front-row seat to nature’s finest show. But when is the best time to travel? What can you expect along the way? And how does Rocky Mountaineer stand out from other rail experiences? Let me answer your top questions.

What is the best time of year to take Rocky Mountaineer?

Rocky Mountaineer operates between April and October, and there is truly no bad time to travel. However, I personally recommend May/June, when the lakes start to thaw into stunning turquoise hues. Alternatively, Autumn is my favourite time, when the trees turn vibrant shades of yellow and orange, creating a breathtaking contrast against the lakes. A combination of turquoise water and fall foliage is simply unforgettable!

How do the seasons impact the scenery and wildlife viewing?

While I canot guarantee animal sightings, Western Canada offers an abundance of wildlife that often comes quite close to the trains. You might be lucky enough to see grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, moose, eagles, hawks, ospreys, coyotes, and more. Spring months are especially great for wildlife, as many animals are more active after coming out of hibernation.

What should passengers bring to enhance their experience?

To make the most of your journey, I highly recommend bringing binoculars to get the best wildlife sightings and a camera to capture the incredible views and moments you'll want to remember long after your trip.

What are the different routes available on Rocky Mountaineer, and how do they compare?

There are three stunning routes in Western Canada and one in the USA:

  • First Passage to the West (Vancouver to Banff): A 2-day journey through the iconic Spiral Tunnels. This is the most popular route.
  • Journey through the Clouds (Vancouver to Jasper): Another 2-day journey that passes Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Rockies.
  • Rainforest to Gold Rush (Vancouver to Jasper): A longer 2-night itinerary perfect for those wanting to spend more time onboard.
  • Rockies to the Red Rocks (Denver, Colorado to Moab, Utah): A spectacular journey through the American Southwest.

What makes Rocky Mountaineer different from other train journeys?

What sets Rocky Mountaineer apart is that it is an all-daylight service, meaning passengers never sleep onboard, ensuring you won’t miss a single stunning view. The GoldLeaf carriages feature glass-domed coaches, providing an immersive experience as you take in the majestic landscapes. This unique approach offers an unparalleled way to experience the natural beauty of both Canada and the USA.
