We were thrilled with the Rocky Mountaineer train trip with its excellent service and vistas. The Fairmont hotels were also excellent and a diverse experience at each one. The Brewster bus tours were better than expected with multiple stops for short walks to enjoy the views and plenty of time to take photos. The meals were pleasant and eliminated the crowds at the lunch stops. The railroad and bus hosts gave excellent commentary on the surroundings.
