INTRODUCTION

Combine the best of both worlds to enjoy a train trip and road trip through the Canadian Rockies.

Beginning with an overnight journey aboard VIA Rail from Vancouver to Jasper, you'll have the chance to soak up scenic views from the comfort of the train before picking up a rental car and driving through Lake Louise, Banff and Calgary.

To truly make it your own, select your choice of tours in both Jasper and Banff, complimented by an Ice Explorer Ride on the Athabasca Glacier. 

Will it be a lake cruise, river float, nature walk, canoe tour or horseback adventure? You can decide.

"My first kudos goes to Canada By Design for giving us the flexibility."

Well, I am still amazed that we were able to get accommodations, Fairmont, train, etc. at last moment... and the way we were able to customize our trip drive/train and explore on our own was awesome!! So, my first kudos goes to Canada By Design for giving us the flexibility. Of course, I adored working with you!!! As far as the trip highlights....I think Jasper was our favorite town, our favorite hike was through the snow at Lake Louise to the Glacier Tea house, our favorite hotel was the Fairmont, and we really enjoyed the train ride/sleeper cabin. The lodging was all great, but Tekarra Lodge's location on the river bank was sooooooo cool! Plus, we enjoyed not being downtown Jasper, and food there was really yummy! Thanks again Jennifer!
