Favourite destination
The Canadian Rockies
Canada is a large country and it makes the most sense to travel by train to take in all the wonderful mountains, lakes, and forests, and even the wide open spaces of the prairies.
The Rockies is so close to my home and it's easy to take a day trip to breathe the mountain air. There is nothing better than spending time in the Rockies to rejuvenate.
A room with a view is always a nice touch and I like the Goldleaf on Rocky Mountaineer to enjoy the special outdoor viewing platform. Great way to take in the fresh air and capture some great pictures.
Take the leap and just do it! We look after everything for you and you get to relax on the train. Solo travel is very rewarding and gives you the freedom to explore, focus on what you want, and live your best life.
I love fall! It’s my favorite season with the changing colours, and offers fewer crowds, while still being the perfect temperature.
