Rocky Mountaineer - Vancouver to Kamloops
DAY 16
Taking you from the stunning city of Kamloops to the bustling metropolis of Vancouver, this Rocky Mountaineer journey promises an incredible rail experience through some of Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes. On this route, you’ll be taken through the rugged mountain-littered landscape of southern British Columbia in complete comfort. While travelling, you’ll have the chance to marvel at the famous Cisco Crossing, relish in the stunning backdrop provided by Mount Outram and the Canadian Cascades, and admire the lush forests of the Sasquatch Provincial Park and the wilderness surrounding it. Indulge in a warm coffee in the morning, or tuck into a gourmet meal at lunchtime, and witness the staggering beauty this part of Western Canada has to offer. A journey perfect for travellers looking for a relaxed way to enjoy the sights of British Columbia, with comfort and luxury paramount to the experience, this train ride will be a memorable one.
Things to see:
Cisco Crossing
A pair of railroad bridges at Siska, which was historically known as Cisco, the proximity of the two bridges to one another is unusual – making it a popular sightseeing spot with railway enthusiasts; though, the rugged slopes down to the rushing waters of the Fraser River make it a sight worth seeing for everyone.
Black Canyon
Formed over five million years ago, this impressive formation of narrow rock gorges extends over 170 miles in totality and perfectly captures the rugged landscape this area of British Columbia is known for.
Mount Outram
Standing an impressive 8,074 ft in the Canadian Cascades, this remarkable mountain is just one of several peaks you’ll be able to admire on your Rocky Mountaineer journey through British Columbia from Kamloops to Vancouver.
Sasquatch Provincial Park
Named after the cryptid rumoured to be endemic to the area, this provincial park is characterised by a series of pocket lakes, rich birch-tree forests, and scenic mountain ridges.

Things to know
Dietary Restrictions
Rocky Mountaineer trains can accommodate various dietary restrictions and preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. It’s important, though, that you inform the company directly of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking – or, at least 60 days prior to travel – to ensure appropriate meal arrangements are made.
It’s also recommended that you complete a Rocky Mountaineer Food Allergy Form, and then send that form to your travel professional or Rocky Mountaineer directly, if you suffer from any food allergies.
Accessibility
Rocky Mountaineer is committed to making its trains as accessible as possible, but there are some limitations you need to be aware of if you’re a wheelchair user or someone with mobility issues.
Passengers with mobility issues, or other accessibility needs, should inform Rocky Mountaineer in advance to arrange for suitable accommodations. While the Rocky Mountaineer trains are designed to be accessible, the availability of certain features or services may vary depending on your individual situation.
For passengers who can transfer from a wheelchair to a seat, with mild mobility issues, a hydraulic lift will be available to transfer you onto the train in your own wheelchair – which must be 23-inches (or less) wide. Then, you will be transferred to a 15-inch-wide wheelchair onboard, which will allow you to navigate the aisles in the railcar freely.
And, for passengers using wheelchairs full-time, Rocky Mountaineer can accommodate using tie-downs; however, there are a limited number of coaches with tie-down features and their availability may limit the travel dates available to you.
Tips and Gratuities
To make your journey seamless, gratuities for your Onboard Hosts and culinary team members have already been included in your package price.
Service Upgrade
Rocky Mountaineer packages are based on the SilverLeaf Service available as standard, but can be upgraded to GoldLeaf Service if requested.
With the GoldLeaf Service, you’ll enjoy a journey on a bi-level Rocky Mountaineer coach with a dining room and outdoor viewing platform on the lower level. Meanwhile, with SilverLeaf Service, you’ll travel in a single-level coach with meals and beverages served directly to your seat (something that is also available if you wish in GoldLeaf Service coaches).
Insurance
If you choose to travel to Canada, it’s important that you get the appropriate travel insurance for your itinerary, any planned activities, and any medical expenses you may require in an emergency.

First opened in 1909, the Spiral Tunnels are an engineering marvel and a true highlight of this Rocky Mountaineer route; a series of twisting tunnels and dramatic loops navigating the steep slopes of the Canadian Rockies, this remarkable route allows trains to safely ascend and descend the rugged terrain of the Kicking Horse Pass and Yoho National Park.
Castle Mountain
Dominating the rugged landscape surrounding Banff, Castle Mountain is a dramatic – and iconic – feature of the Canadian Rockies; with castle-like peaks lending themselves to its striking silhouette, the summit of this staggering sight is over 9,000 ft high.

Things to know
Dietary Restrictions
Rocky Mountaineer can accommodate various dietary restrictions and preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. However, it’s important to inform the company directly of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking – or, at least 60 days prior to travel – to ensure that appropriate meal arrangements are made.
It’s also recommended that you complete a Rocky Mountaineer Food Allergy Form, and then send it to your travel professional or Rocky Mountaineer directly, if you suffer from any food allergies.
Accessibility
Rocky Mountaineer is committed to making its trains accessible, but there are some limitations you need to be aware of if you’re a wheelchair user or someone with mobility issues.
Passengers with mobility issues or other accessibility needs should inform Rocky Mountaineer in advance to arrange for suitable accommodations. While trains are designed to be accessible, the availability of certain features or services may vary depending on your individual situation.
For passengers who can transfer from a wheelchair to a seat, a hydraulic lift will be available to transfer you onto the train in your own wheelchair – which must be 23-inches (or less) wide – and then you will be transferred to a 15-inch-wide wheelchair onboard – which will allow you to navigate the aisles in the railcar freely.
For passengers using wheelchairs full-time, Rocky Mountaineer can accommodate using tie-downs – though there are a limited number of rail coaches with tie-down features and their availability may limit the travel dates available to you.
Tips and Gratuities
To make your journey seamless, gratuities for your Onboard Hosts and culinary team members have already been included in your package price.
Service Upgrade
Rocky Mountaineer packages are based on the available SilverLeaf Service as standard, but can be upgraded to GoldLeaf Service if requested.
With GoldLeaf Service, you’ll enjoy a journey on a bi-level Rocky Mountaineer coach with a dining room and outdoor viewing platform. Meanwhile, with SilverLeaf Service, you’ll travel on a single-level coach with meals and beverages served directly to your seat (something that is also available with GoldLeaf Service).
Insurance
If you choose to travel to Canada, and on Rocky Mountaineer, it’s important that you get appropriate travel insurance for your itinerary, any planned activities, and any medical expenses you may require in an emergency.
