2024 Canada Rockies to Vancouver

  Today our Rocky Mountaineer train adventure brought us to Vancouver across BC (British Columbia), with some very noticeable changes in scenery and geology.

We're spending the night in Kamloops after a very relaxing ride and constantly being fed on our Rocky Mountaineer train from Lake Louise to Vancouver … quite an experience! "Snow porches" protect tracks in winter

  Our last day in Alberta, tomorrow we take the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver. We hiked the Rockpile Trail to catch the best view of Moraine Lake this morning. Today we thoroughly enjoyed hanging around the Post Hotel here in Lake Louise - visited the village which is very small - and had one of the best meals any of us have ever had at The Post Hotel Restaurant.

 We explored Jasper all we could, and stayed at the awesome Pyramid Lake resort just out of town. Wonderful lake and mountain view, but we didn't hike the nearby trails because a Grizzly Bear had just walked down through the resort, swam in the lake, and disappeared just before we arrived. They take their Grizzlies serious around here! Lots of hikes and relaxation, plus great food here.Then, off in our car again, headed for Lake Louise, Post Hotel,  for some more mountain adventures before getting on the train for Vancouver.  Athabasca Falls Ice Fields Highway Sherye's Buck!
