Cheryl Gadsby's Travels
We boarded the Rocky Mountaineer from Kamloops and enjoyed the spectacular views on a thankfully sunny day. I can't describe how beautiful the Rockies are. Snow still visible on the peaks and flowing water everywhere thanks to the recent flooding but also summer. We could stay on the train only until reaching a little town called Golden. It was here we transferred to coach to complete the journey to Banff due to damaged rail tracks. Took 2 hours to reach Banff, again, spectacular views all the way. Saw our first bears, 2 of them on the side of the road. Arrived at Fairmont Banff Springs around 7pm. By the time cases arrived at our room it was time for beers and pizza at the hotel and then bed. Tour of Banff tomorrow.
