After a full day on the water, relax in your luxury rail car as we journey across the continental divide to Fernie, British Columbia.

Spend the day exploring and fishing in this pristine wilderness with your experienced river guide. Keep your camera handy because you’re sure to spot bighorn sheep, mountain goats, humming birds and, of course, elk.

As the sun sets, we’ll travel to the Columbia Valley for an overnight stay aboard the train.
Day 4 - Kootenay Mountains -- “British Columbia’s Mountain Playground”
Spectacular mountains, breathtaking river valleys and another glorious day on the water are waiting for your exploration. Fish for cutthroat trout, rainbow and eastern brook trout in the area’s uncrowded lakes and streams. Visit a historic mining town or alpine village. Have your camera ready for a shot at a soaring eagle or a spectacular grizzly. Board the train as we head north to Golden.
Day 5 - Banff, Alberta - Capital of the Canadian Rockies
Experience the Rockies via an open air vestibule. As the train climbs through Kicking Horse Pass, you’ll see firsthand the engineering feat knows as “Spiral Tunnels” which allowed safe railway passage since the beginning of the 20th century. Stop in the world-renowned town of Banff for a chance to visit historic hotels and bring home a few souvenirs from the main shopping street. Enjoy your farewell dinner onboard and arrive in Calgary for an overnight stay.
Day 6: - Depart for home
After breakfast and checkout, return to the Calgary International Airport for your return flights home. Your camera and memories will forever be filled with images of this fly-fishing paradise!
