Rocky Mountaineer 2 day trip fun

Hello and as you can see this is our trip on this......Plenty of pictures and hope you enjoy 

We had booked last year and did Gold Leaf which has you in the double decker carriage 


Woody was very happy with his view out 

A bit of a view from our seats 

Another spot for Woody to hang around lol 

Plenty of viewing for all 

Bit of fun with Woody's Shadow 

You go down stairs for Breakfast and Lunch and on the first day we had the early seatings....swap over following day to later times 

Ready for our Breakfast selfie 

Fraser River along the way....well along the way for ages lol 


Then we followed along the Thompson River 

Way up high and loving the views down 


Views down the the passing traffic 

Some tunnels on the other side track 

Woody sure had a great time 


Plenty of river snapping for sure lol 


We saw many waterfalls 


More track on the other side......we crossed over too so sometimes one side of the rivers and then the other later on....


Here comes a freight train......we saw so many and because I love trains I was very happy lol 

Stunning scenery for sure 

We arrived in Kamloops for our overnight stop and were welcomed by some local rangers 

Woody was glad to have a large bed to sleep in after a busy day 

Next morning we were welcomed to this sight......no back carriage and so we were the last carriage.....and can you see viewing platform at the back bottom section!!!!! HAPPY 


Second morning selfie 

Watched a beautiful sunrise 

Looking out the back of the train 

And down the side view 

Still going along with the Thompson River 


Standing out the back in the cool 

Look how happy I was 


Not much I can say but enjoy the scenery 

Skillet breakfast we had on our 2nd morning 

Yes another freight train going by and beautiful mountain in the distance 

Clear clear water too 


A bit smokey but that was due to fires and apparently the week before people could see nothing but smoke ......

Columbia River 

Beautiful 

Round house of a local rail park 



We had some nice little nibbles while the others had early lunch 

Could imagine a beaver living here lol 





Old Scottish bridge now not used but has gorgeous waterfall under it 

The concrete you can see is Avalanche protectors for the railway tracks.......there are many of them along here 

The engines snaking along ahead 


Going through a long tunnel 

Dark and chilly lol 





We think this is Kim Basket Lake.....hard to remember lol 


Freight train coming lol 


And there it goes.....I actually filmed one.....4.15mins.....



Snow up on the mountains


More waterways we can't remember but oh so pretty 

Snow up on this peak 



The mountains sure got bigger the further we went 



A cookie they gave us at the end 


And how are these awesome looking mountains 

We kept looking for animals and did see.....Big Horn Sheep, Deers and lots of Osprey but no pics 


Another freight as I was taking this pic 

Getting closer to Banff 


Plenty waved as we went past all along this trip 

And ended in Banff to stay for 2 nights 

Goodbye Rocky......fantastic trip and highly recommend to anyone and so glad we have been able to do this trip 

View from our gorgeous hotel in Banff......more on that soon
Love to you all out there xoxoxo
