First Passage to the West

First Passage to the West is the Rocky Mountaineer’s most popular and historic route, travelling between Vancouver and Banff or Lake Louise. It traces the path of Canada’s first transcontinental railway, winding through the legendary Spiral Tunnels, dramatic mountain passes, and the steep canyons of the Kicking Horse River. This route is rich in Canadian history and perfect for first-time travellers wanting the classic Rockies rail experience.

Journey through the Clouds

Journey through the Clouds travels between Vancouver and Jasper and is known for its rugged, remote beauty. The route takes you deep into the Canadian wilderness, passing towering peaks, the stunning Pyramid Falls, and along the base of Mount Robson—the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies. This journey is ideal for nature lovers and those seeking serene landscapes and dramatic alpine scenery.

Rainforest to Gold Rush

Rainforest to Gold Rush is the most diverse and less-travelled route, journeying between Vancouver and Jasper via Whistler and Quesnel. It features an ever-changing tapestry of ecosystems, from coastal rainforests to desert canyons and alpine meadows. Along the way, you’ll travel through the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region, with fewer crowds and more intimate encounters with British Columbia’s varied geography. This route is perfect for travellers wanting something off the beaten path with incredible variety.
