| Day 5 | Jasper evening wildlife tour | | | Today is free to explore Jasper before departing this evening to experience the environs of Jasper and for some amazing close-up photo opportunities of wildlife. Destinations can include the Maligne Valley, the Pyramid Bench (with its beaver ponds) and many other unique wildlife or natural splendours. During the winter months descend to the frozen canyon floor where guides take you down beneath the frozen surface of the Maligne River - don’t worry, the water levels have dropped with the freeze, leaving a magical world of ice formations and shelves. | | Day 6 | Jasper to Vancouver (Rail) | | | Spend the morning relaxing in the mountain town of Jasper before boarding VIA Rail Silver & Blue Service to Vancouver. Leaving Jasper National Park, travel the 'Yellowhead' route past the sprawling grandeur of Mount Robson, and then following the mighty Thompson River all the way to the Fraser Valley and the coastal city of Vancouver.
Exclusive to Silver and Blue class:
By day, sit back in comfortable armchairs and enjoy the stretch out comfort of your very own accommodation. At night attendants will transform your quarters into cozy bunks or bedroom. Guests have access to the Park Car, always at the tail end of the train whose tapered shape gives the car its distinctive look. Enjoy complimentary tea and coffee or in the evening before dinner complimentary hors d'oeuvres In the Dome you'll feel the true essence of traveling by train - where scene after memorable scene sweeps by. This evening retire to your Sleeping Car where a comfortable bed awaits you. Some of the amenities include thick towels, plump pillows, cozy down duvets and a shower kit.
