Rocky Mountaineer, Vancouver to Jasper - Rainforest to Gold Rush - Unravel Travel TV

Breathtaking Rocky Mountaineer railway scenery on the Rainforest to Gold Rush journey. Carve through extreme landscapes of BC's coastal rainforest, the rugged Fraser Canyon, and the historic Cariboo gold rush region.

Enjoy some of the most breathtaking and varied rail scenery found anywhere in the world on this route. Travel past stunning lakes, through the coastal rainforest and the desert-like conditions of the Fraser Canyon into the vast ranchlands of the Cariboo Plateau. Visit the Gold Pan City of Quesnel, journey through the Rocky Mountain Trench, be awestruck by spectacular Mount Robson, and arrive in the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies.

Amazing Sights Along the Way include:

Howe Sound - North America's southernmost fjord, Howe Sound extends from West Vancouver towards Squamish, offering an expansive playground for sailing, diving, fishing, and ocean gazing.

Porteau Cove - Complete with clear waters and an old sunken ship to explore, Porteau Cove is a diver's dream come true.

Green Lake - Named for its milky jade-coloured water, Green Lake is surrounded by birch trees and smiling swimmers who may be blissfully unaware of how cold glacial water can be.

Anderson Lake - Views of mountain peaks, endless sunshine, and pristine water conditions make this lake a secret recreational paradise. The tracks follow the lakeshore for 24 kilometres (15 miles).

Seton Lake - Once upon a time, Seton and Anderson Lakes were one body of water. Cut in two by an ancient landslide, Seton Lake is now a greener, milkier shade than her blue-watered sister.

Fraser Canyon - During the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, the "Grand Canyon of the North" was flooded with over 10,000 gold prospectors eager to stake a claim.

Mount Robson - Look up, waaaaay up. Also known as "The Great White Fright", Mount Robson claims the title of the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at a staggering 3,954 meters (12,972 feet).

Jasper - Adrenaline seekers and star gazers unite. As the largest of Canada's mountain parks, Jasper offers unlimited outdoor activities (day or night). Dip your toes in the biggest glacially-fed lake in the Rockies or watch star systems wheeling across the world's second largest Dark-Sky Preserve. Don't stay out too late though! You'll want to pack as much exploration as possible into your stay here.
