Depart Calgary this morning for a full-day tour concluding in Banff. Journey to Kananaskis where you will enjoy the


highlight of today, a 15-minute Summit Helicopter Tour over the remarkable landscape of the Rockies. Enjoy lunch at

Travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer from the mountain town of Banff to Kamloops, in the heart of British Columbia’s

snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies, over mountain passes and through remarkable tunnels, along rocky


lakeshores and across the ranchlands of the interior. Today’s highlights include the Continental Divide, the Spiral

Valley. Highlights include the steep slopes and rock sheds along the Thompson River and the rushing waters of Hell’s


Gate in the Fraser Canyon. Your rail journey ends on arrival in Vancouver this evening. Overnight in Vancouver. B,
