Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon we boarded the Via Rail train for Vancouver, BC. This is a terrific way to see the Canadian Rockies as you travel through areas no car will ever take you. Our group had its own dome/dining car and we delighted to the spectacular views along the way.
We passed by Mt. Robson, the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies at 12,972'. It is quite distinctive and strikingly beautiful.
