If you want to try something heartier than the mild Arizona winter or are making plans to cool off during the scorching Arizona summer, look to our neighbor to the North. Canada offers cooler temperatures and breathtaking scenery, cosmopolitan cities and remote wilderness, accessible coasts, and an increasingly diverse culture.

The Rocky Mountaineer Experience is a special way to experience Canada. Imagine taking in incredible views from the comfort of a train, setting out on adventures or escorted tours into Canadian cities and countryside, and checking key locations like the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver, Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, and Whistler off your travel list. Journey by rail to the regions that suit your fancy or take a ride across the world’s second-largest country. An enchanting variety of packages caters to your personal interests, needs, and desired length of travel. Connect with the Whistler Mountaineer Train or combine your Rocky Mountaineer Train experience with an Alaskan cruise. See what all the buzz is around tourist destination Vancouver; check out Whistler, where the 2010 Winter Olympic athletes will compete for coveted gold metals; or simply enjoy the old-time romance of the rail as you explore the Canadian Rockies.
