One of our UC Retiree travelers sent a long, chatty email about the Canadian Rockies by Train adventure. There's another trip scheduled for September 2022, visit this link: gateway.gocollette.com/link/1046225

In the meantime, here's what one 2021 traveler had to say:

The trip was fabulous! Our tour guide, Maryse Blouin was superbly organized, informative, helpful and compassionate; our coach driver Ed entertained us with witty remarks and astonished us with his expertise in maneuvering the coach safely and in some tight corners. The Rocky Mountaineer train spoiled us with food, food, food, and because the train car was just half full, we had the luxury to change seats from time to time. Because we did not sleep on that train, we had lots of time for food (and drink) and viewing the landscape.

The city tour of Vancouver was interesting, but my favorite place is Capilano Suspension Bridge park. Glorious to be high above the river and then in beautiful forest. Lake Louise was such a treat; in the morning, my roommate and I had time for a short two-mile hike in the forest to an overlook of the lake. It was awesome.

Lodgings were excellent on balance. I especially liked the Rimrock Resort where we stayed in Banff - two angled windows with views in each room of trees and mountains.

The walk on Athabaska glacier was a highlight. Poor thing is really shrinking, according to personal accounts and older photos.

My roommate and I were both really happy and thankful that this tour was offered.  The lodgings and amenities and food provided were well worth the expense. In fact, I think that as an individual I would have spent much more. We had an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, thanks to Collette!!
