An Unforgettable Adventure in the Rocky Mountains

The Canadian Rockies are known to many as a must-do vacation thanks to the awe-inspiring vistas that showcase nature’s most beautiful aspects of sparkling lakes, snowy mountains, and local wildlife at every turn. In the heart of winter many Winnetka residents trek west to experience these vistas from their favorite ski slope. But what about those who don’t ski and still want to enjoy the winter wonderland?

Rocky Mountaineer, the luxury tourist train operating in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, is a unique way to see and experience this part of the world. The train takes you on a journey alongside rivers, through quaint mountain towns, and within arms-reach of stunning, snowcapped mountains.

The experience onboard the all-dome fleet features rich, historic storytelling, world-class cuisine, and a first-hand look at lush green forests and turquoise glacier-fed lakes, all from the comfort of reclining plush seats. With four unique routes to choose from, the unforgettable all-daylight journeys offer romance and history, reminding you that traveling is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

As the train pulls out of the station, the onboard Hosts are eager to start the journey with a morning toast and share stories of the history, nature and excitement that surrounds the train throughout the day. There’s an immediate comraderie that is palpable from your Hosts and fellow travelers as you embark on your journey together.

While nature’s wonders unfold out the windows, you are given the opportunity to truly unwind. Whether with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc in the comfort of the glass domed car, or on the outdoor viewing platform in the fresh mountain air, here is your chance to unplug and relax fully into the sumptuous surroundings.
