This route takes passengers into the heart of the Canadian wilderness. Stare in amazement at the “mountain mecca of Whistler” while navigating beautiful natural scenery, including hidden canyons and picturesque lakes.

Hiking through rugged mountain terrain has never been so easy, and you can experience first hand the route that pioneers took during the gold rush.

This route also features Mount Robson.

All trains feature glass-dome coaches that provide panoramic views of the passing scenery, allowing passengers to connect with the landscape on an entirely different level.
