💧 Bring reusable water bottles or hot drink tumblers to limit waste.

Recently our guests witnessed a rare occurrence in the Rockies!
The meeting of two Rocky Mountaineer trains in travel is a common occurrence each season. The meeting of two Rocky Mountaineer trains at Cisco Crossing is so rare that we can go years without it happening.

We are often asked "which side of the train is best to sit on?"
As our train does travel over rivers and bridges throughout the journey, both sides are advantageous. You will have spectacular views from all our seats onboard.
We are unable to let guests reserve specific seats. This ensures that groups are kept together and and guests with mobility needs are taken care of.

Berry season is a fruitful time for wildlife in the Rockies. As the days begin to get cooler and shorter, expect to see more bears, deer, moose, and many other animals snacking on berries and vegetation to prepare for the winter ahead.
You’re quite safe when viewing wildlife from our train, but when you’re in our destinations, make sure you take precautions. Always be aware of your surroundings and give the animals a lot of space. Never approach, startle, crowd, or surround wildlife.

If you visit Banff or Lake Louise in the summer, you will be greeted with wildflowers that paint the mountains and landscapes around you.
Wildflowers appear in a variety of colours, shapes, and scents, adding to the natural beauty of Banff National Park. Peak flowering time in this area at all elevations is from mid-July to mid-August, however blossoms can be seen as early as late March through mid-September. Please note, so that future visitors can enjoy wildflowers, and so that the flowers themselves continue to thrive, picking is not permitted.

Capture camera-worthy canyons on Rockies to the Red Rocks! It’s easy to spot flat-topped Mount Garfield (6,765 ft), overlooking the town of Palisade, as it’s the highest point of the Book Cliffs; a set of sandstone mountains that stretch nearly 200 miles from west to east. #RockyMountaineer 🚂: Rockies to the Red Rocks
"First day in the Rockies! One night in Banff which fortuitously fell on Canada Day. Flat as a pancake in the town but surrounded by beautiful mountains. Several weeks ago we reserved the only accessible taxi in the region to take us to Lake Louise, which was breathtakingly blue - the lake, not the taxi. The lake is known as as Horâ Juthin Îmne by the Stoney Nakoda peoples which means “the Lake of the Little Fishes”. Late afternoon we caught a local bus to get a gondola (aka a cable car) up Mînî Rhuwîn (Sulphur Mountain). Couldn’t quite believe my eyes at the heights I got to. Then some seafood chowder and maple bacon scallops with a view @skybistrobanff to finish off Day One!" "Video description: compilation of short video clips showing Sarah, a powered wheelchair user’s, day around Banff. Sarah wheels out of a rear access taxi amongst a park area. She is wandering around the edge of a blue lake, surrounded by fir trees and mountains. Later, a portable ramp is attached to a cable car so she can wheel in with her family. They ascend the mountain with thousands of trees below. In a restaurant they clink their glasses of red wine overlooking the view." #RockyMountaineer 📷: @sarahvbarriers
We often get asked if we have sleeper cars onboard Rocky Mountaineer, but there’s a reason we don’t.
