Visiting North America's most popular National Parks can be the experience of a lifetime, but doing it by car can also mean long hours spent waiting at the entrance gates in the heat and circling around looking for available parking spots. That's just one reason why the famous Rocky Mountaineer train service is introducing a new route that runs between Canada's Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Pack your best hiking boots, because starting in summer 2026, you'll be able to take the train between the two iconic parks and discover some of the best of the Canadian West. The new route, called Passage to the Peaks, travels in both directions through the Canadian Rockies, taking in spectacular sights like Lake Louise, Rundle Mountain, Castle Mountain and Pyramid Falls along the way.
