Seeing Canadian Rockies on VIA Rail Canada

I managed to get some sleep on the train, despite it swaying at times in the night.  Woke up early for breakfast at 6:30 am, and there were already passengers earlier than me.  The breakfast selection was good and I was seated with other passengers.

One reason for waking up early was to grab a seat at the viewing gallery.  While it was an ideal space to viewing the scenery, the curved glass panels did not allow for good photographs.

It was misty on that morning and the view was restricted.  For that day, the scenery got better from 10 am onward.

So, meantime..........  SHOWER!!!



The shower room was along the corridor, compact and with a separate changing area.


Scenery before lunch.

Lunch - last meal on board.  (forgot to take photos of main course lol)


Scenery got better as approach the Rockies....

An hour before arrival at Jasper...

Late afternoon, we arrived at Jasper, where most passengers alighted.  The photo below showed us waiting to collect our luggage.

That ended my train ride from Vancouver to Jasper.  While the journey was short, it was memorable for the comfort on the train, and the scenery along the way, in particular the last few hours.  I would definitely recommend this ride for experiencing the Canadian Rockies.



Checked into the hostel, which was 10 to 15 minutes from the train station.  That evening, I decided to have noodles at a Korean Restaurant.
