If you are traveling in the west coast of Canada, you owe it to yourself to explore more than coastal cities like Vancouver British Columbia. Of course Vancouver is beautiful, but there's so much more to western Canada. It's easily reached as well.

Traveling by train through western Canada can take between 2-4 days. It depends on your schedule, your thirst for a little bit of adventure and how long you want to spend in the cities at the end of the line. The payoff is that you will see sights and meet real people besides the English speaking guides that you are accustomed to. Here we talk about the highly rated Rocky Mountaineer Railroad adventure and provide you the online resources to take this trip.
