Rainforest to Goldrush
A showcase of Western Canada's scenic diversity beckons on Rocky
Mountaineer's longest route, Rainforest to Gold Rush. The train
follows the path less traveled, meandering through coastal
rainforests before entering timber and gold country and finally
proceeding into the Canadian Rockies. This extraordinary trip is
split into three distinct sections. An average speed of just 30 mph
in the most scenic portions of the route allows guests to soak in
all the splendor in each leg of the journey.
Lakes veiled by the flora and beautiful mountain peaks come into
view. Wildlife roams within sight of the tracks as the train enters
tranquil forests, and stunning waterfalls cascade down the
mountains. This route is a feat of engineering, conquering
increasingly tricky terrain as the tracks maneuver into the
Canadian Rockies. One final spectacle, Mount Robson, comes into
view as the train approaches Jasper.
The Rainforest to Gold Rush route offers all the luxury guests are
accustomed to when traveling aboard Rocky Mountaineer in one unique
package. Travelers can enjoy the train's amenities from either
SilverLeaf Service or GoldLeaf Service. SilverLeaf guests enjoy
travel in their comfortable assigned seats in single-level domed
cars. In contrast, GoldLeaf travelers are seated in double-decker
train cars, with the top level featuring a domed glass roof and the
bottom level including a luxurious dining room. Delicious
chef-prepared meals are served in both classes of service. The
breakfast and lunch menus are all inspired by local ingredients and
highlight regional cuisine. SilverLeaf travelers dine in their
seats, and GoldLeaf guests move down to the dining car for their
meals. Both classes of service enjoy complimentary alcoholic and
non-alcoholic drinks for the duration of the journey, as well as
gourmet morning and afternoon snacks.
