In the Skyline Dome car aboard VIA's incomparable 'Canadian', rolling through the Rockies (Instagram Photo)

In the Skyline Dome car aboard VIA's incomparable 'Canadian', rolling through the Rockies near Roche Miette, Jasper National Park, Alberta.

My wife & I took the 'Canadian' from Toronto to Vancouver & return in the Summer of 2017, with stopovers to visit Jasper & Banff National Parks.

That view is mindblowing! I'd love to take a cross country train trip like that someday. It sounds wonderful.

The trip comes highly recommended. BTW, I've got a Youtube channel showcasing my trip videos (including my trips on the Canadian) if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/@hiawathapete426/videos
