    We actually ended up going to lake moraine on the very last day that it was open that season. We arrived at about 4:30 in the morning and climbed up to the icy lookout area and waited for a couple of hours in the freezing cold to see the mountains surrounding the lake. I will never forget that experience and the unforgettable beauty

      Thank you for sharing! It does sound like a dream trip. They also do some trips from Moab to Colorado.

      By the way we used your guide books and audio guides a couple of years ago on a 3-week trip up to glacier and then worked our way down through Yellowstone Grand Teton and a few relaxing days on the river at Rocky mountain national Park. The audio history was really helpful and added a whole other level to the trip. Thank you for that.

    It's a two-day trip with an overnight in Kamloops. We took the gold leaf service. This was one of those experiences that we decided to splurge on and I definitely don't regret it even though it is quite pricey. The views were amazing and the train, food, amenities, and narration were absolutely top notch. There was no disappointment.

    We live in Colorado and did the Rocky Mountaineer with a visit to Vancouver first and then took the train to Jasper. We traveled early October (end of season). We stayed in Jasper for 5 days, rented a car and drove the Icefields Pkwy (did the Columbia Icefield - great adventure) and then stayed in Canmore instead of Banff. Only a short drive to Banff each day. Canmore was so much less crowded but a charming town and much less expensive. We loved walking along the river and I agree I liked Canmore better than Banff. Some of my best photos were taken in Canmore.

    Very helpful information. What time of year did you go to Banff?

    The most amazing part of the Banff / Yoho / Jasper National Park area are the almost unlimited hiking trails including unbelievable shorter day and half day hikes. This is also the way to explore the best places in these parks while avoiding the vast majority of the crowds since 95% of the tourists never leave the roads. On your next rip, I would forget the busy towns and explore the hiking areas at Lake Louise, Morraine Lake, Sunshine Meadows, Emerald Lake, Lake O'Hara, etc. etc.. That is the real beauty of this area. It would be hard to do this though staying as far away as Canmore.
