First Passage to the West

Itinerary:

Day 1: Banff to Kamloops

Departing early in the morning, travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer from the mountain resort town of Banff to Kamloops, in the heart of the British Columbia Interior. Your journey takes you through ever-changing scenery as you travel between the iconic glacier and snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies over mountain passes and through remarkable tunnels, along rocky lakeshores and across the ranchlands of the Interior. Today's highlights include the Continental Divide, the Spiral Tunnels, Kicking Horse Canyon, Rogers Pass and Craigellachie, where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven. You will arrive in Kamloops in the evening. Overnight in Kamloops.

Day 2: Kamloops to Vancouver

Early in the morning, your journey continues west towards the Pacific Ocean and the coastal city of Vancouver. On today's journey, you will again see dramatic changes in scenery, from the desert-like environment of the B.C. Interior, through winding river canyons and pristine forests, to the Cascade and Coast Mountains and the lush green fields of the Fraser Valley. Highlights include the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River and the rushing waters of Hell's Gate in the Fraser Canyon. Your rail journey ends on arrival in Vancouver this evening.

Sea To Sky Gondola - Ticket

The Sea to Sky Gondola, located 45 minutes from Vancouver along the Sea to Sky Highway, provides sweeping views of Howe Sound, the majestic coastal forest and surrounding mountains. The eight person gondolas feature a level entrance/exit point, making them wheelchair and stroller accessible. The twelve minute ride up and down gondola ride to the summit is a thrilling adventure for all ages and provides new views of Shannon Falls and the famous Stawamus Chief rock climbing area. Once at the top, many other adventures await. You will have access to a wide array of outdoor experiences, including two different interpretive loop walking trails with cantilevered viewing platforms, the spectacular Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, numerous hiking trails, rock climbing, snowshoeing, a tube park with access trails to backcountry routes and much more. The Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge is approximately 100 metres long and has a backdrop that falls away thousands of feet below, giving you a greater feeling of exposure and height over land. The Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge offers amazing 360 degree views of the area, both up to the high alpine of the mountains above and down to Howe Sound below. The fully licensed Sky Pilot restaurant includes seating on a world-class patio high above Howe Sound. Enjoy a fresh, local menu curated by the season. Warm comfort foods in the winter and fresh new offerings every summer.
