Rocky Mountaineer

We took the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Calgary, with an overnight stop in Kamloops. It was spectacular. It was an early start on both days (up at 5.45!) as there was a lot of ground to cover but it was worth it for the awesome views. We had breakfast and lunch on the train and they were both pretty good and our attendant Crystal was great. She gave a running commentary as we went along, pointing out the points of attraction etc. We saw different wildlife along the route, including bear, deer, eagle, osprey and elk. Unfortunately, we didn't capture any on film other than the eagle in the picture below. The track itself is interesting, inlcuding a set of spiral tunnels through several mountains which took 20 months to complete.
