Hundreds of miles of breathtaking scenery is what this
spectacular train trip is all about!

As you travel from Toronto to Vancouver,
you will travel through five of Canada's Provinces. Your first day on
the train will bring new respect for those early settlers and fur
traders who found their way in this vast area. You also come to realize
what a lifeline the train is for people who live where roads are few but
lakes, rivers and waterways abound. Fishermen will surely see a few
places they would like to come back to! As the train crosses into
Manitoba, you enter a land of forest and lakes. Many of the 200 lakes
were formed by meteor craters. This wealth of forest and water made
Winnipeg, located at the junction of the Red, Assiniboine and Seine
Rivers the capital of Canada's fur trade. Saskatchewan shows you the
unique beauty of these prairie lands and communities rich in heritage
and humor. The tiny town of Biggar proudly proclaims that "New York is
big but this is Biggar"! And who of us wouldn't like to boast that we
tasted berry pie in Saskatoon. Alberta's prairie lands bring you to
Edmonton, home to the famous West Edmonton Mall. Midway between
Edmonton and Jasper, you have your first view of the Rockies and the
promise of what is yet to come. Continue through the Rockies to
Vancouver. Overnights are spent aboard VIA Rail.
Meals: Breakfast, all meals are included onboard the train.
Day 7: Vancouver, BC to Seattle
Welcome to Vancouver, Western Canada's glittering Pacific city. Your
train is scheduled to arrive early morning. Upon arrival our motorcoach
will bring you back to Seattle. Welcome home!
