Day One - Calgary - The Heart of the New West
Get into the frontier spirit of the old Canadian West in Calgary. Before or after your adventure, take some time to explore this cosmopolitan city which hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics. Board your luxury train for a late afternoon departure from the Canadian Pacific Railway Pavilion in downtown. Enjoy cocktails and dinner and meet your traveling companions who will share this sportsman’s paradise. As the train begins its journey, you begin to unwind and watch the sun set over this rugged terrain.

Day 2 - Gateway to the Canadian Rockies - Crowsnest Pass
Along Crowsnest Pass, you’ll find the most prolific fly-fishing trout streams, which all feed into the Oldman River. Whether you’re a novice or an expert angler, our experienced river guides will help you learn to cast, read the water and reel in that big one. After a full day on the water, relax in your luxury rail car as we journey across the continental divide to Fernie, British Columbia.

Day 3 - Elk Valley, 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. Known for its dry fly-fishing, the Elk River lets you wade, walk or float in a drift boat in search of fish. 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!
