Rocky Mountaineer
This week we are featuring a “Feature Far Away Friday”! Over the last few days we have had the opportunity to be on a trip with the Rocky Mountaineer, a luxurious train experience from Jasper, Alberta, with stops in Quesnel, BC, Whistler BC and with a final destination of Vancouver BC. We thought we would do something a little different, and feature the Company that provided us with a wonderful experience.
We started bright and early in Jasper, Alberta. No need to worry about our luggage as they come to pick it up at the hotel and transport it, separately from the train, to the next destination where you find it in your room upon arrival. The train is very nice, clean and modern. The seats were very comfortable with many controls to maximize comfort and exceptional leg room. The train car has massive windows connecting to a glass domed ceiling.
Each day we were served with a gourmet breakfast and lunch in the dining room lower level of the car. At the end of each day, we transferred to a bus for a ride to our hotel, until the next morning, where again bright and early, we were brought back to the train for the next phase of the journey. The views along the way (with occasional commentary from the train staff) were breathtaking as we headed through the Rockies during the entire trip.
Finally, the Team that hosted us were excellent. Friendly, efficient, with a great sense of humour, these employees were amazing and helped to ensure everyone was having a fantastic time while keeping us well fed and well hydrated with almost any drink you might desire. Overall a great trip and we would recommend anyone to go and experience the Rocky Mountaineer for themselves if they have the chance.
