Canadian Rockies Express with Rocky Mountaineer from Banff

6-day Rocky Mountaineer rail trip from Banff to Vancouver

Railbookers runs this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package through the Canadian Rockies, starting with two nights in Banff, described in the evidence as a scenic mountain town of mountains, lakes and waterfalls. From Banff, travelers board the Rocky Mountaineer for a rail journey through mountain passes, waterfalls and glaciers to Kamloops and on to Vancouver, where the trip closes with two more nights of sightseeing in what the evidence calls a vibrant city. Railbookers sells this as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, and its own description does not lay out a day-by-day breakdown of the route. This suits travelers who want a short, train-centered trip through the Rockies bookended by time in two of western Canada's best-known towns.
