Scenic North America: Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park

26-day rail trip from Vancouver through the Rockies to Glacier National Park

Railbookers runs this 26-day, 25-night independent rail package across Canada and the United States, described in the evidence as a scenic rail journey. It begins in Vancouver and travels across Canada on VIA Rail, taking in the alpine towns of Jasper and Banff, with a second stop in Jasper before the route continues to Toronto and Niagara Falls. From there, the trip crosses into the United States, reaching New York City and Chicago before Glacier National Park in Montana and finishing in Seattle. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own sightseeing at each stop. The evidence names VIA Rail for the Canadian portion but does not specify the train or transport used once the trip crosses into the United States, and it does not break down how the 25 nights split across the ten stops. It suits independent travelers who want a long, cross-continental rail trip pairing the Canadian Rockies with Niagara Falls and Glacier National Park.
