The railway that connects the east and west Canada is one of the greatest transportation systems in Canada. There are many scenic view that can only be seen from the railway route, e.g. the Pyramid Fall. You should consider travel by railway from Vancouver to the Canadian Rockies. You can travel by Rocky Mountaineer or VIA Rail.

The Rocky Mountaineer is specifically designed for tourist to explore the spectacular sceneries of Canada. The train will only travel in the daytime. During the night, traveller will be checked in to a hotel or resort for a proper rest and continue the journey in the day. The class of seats are divided to Gold Leaf and Red Leaf. Gold Leaf seats will have dome coaches that you to see the panoramic view of the sceneries.

VIA Rail will be the alternative if you are on a tighter budget. All classes of seats can access to the dome coaches (limited seats though). VIA Rail will continue travel during the night. You may miss some of the sceneries. However during summer, with a long daylight, you should not miss much. The dawn should break before you reach the Pyramid Fall and Mount Robson. Look out for a video on the Pyramid fall in my next few postings.
