The next morning, board the Rocky Mountaineer for a breathtaking rail journey. Travel through awe-inspiring landscapes—from glacier-carved valleys and high mountain passes to river canyons and expansive ranchlands. Highlights include the Spiral Tunnels, Rogers Pass, and Craigellachie. You’ll overnight in Kamloops before continuing west the following day through the dramatic Fraser Canyon and lush Fraser Valley, arriving in Vancouver by evening.

Day 8 18 August 2026

Sitka, Alaska

Arrive: 18 August Depart: 18 August
Sitka truly offers the best of Alaska. Its small-town appeal stems from a unique blend of Russian, Tlingit and American history. Its snow-capped peaks and volcanic Mount Edgecumbe pose amongst the statex2019;s most postcard-worthy scenes. And its rare wildlife astounds, from Saint Lazaria Islandx2019;s orange-beaked puffins to Alaska Maritime Refugex2019;s 40 million seabirds. This is off-the-beaten-track Alaska, where you can kayak Sitka Sound alongside swimming sea otters or fly-fish for the worldx2019;s biggest halibut. Whether itx2019;s hiking along Baranof Island trails or listening to tribal stories passed down for generations, in Sitka the midnight sun never sets on adventure.

Framed by Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts, the cityx2019;s picturesque central area offers centuries-old bars, boutique shops and historical landmarks. For a taste of the local culture, visit the historic district and the Alaska State Museum. And for outdoor thrills, you can take your pick of activities ranging from whale watching in Auke Bay Harbour to tundra trekking over Mendenhall Glacier, and even try your hand at gold panning in Last Chance Basin.
Day 11 20 August 2026

Skagway, Alaska

Arrive: 20 August Depart: 20 August
The tiny town of Skagway still looks like it did during the Klondike Gold Rush over 100 years ago x2013; and today it remains an outpost for thrilling Alaskan adventure. An old-time tram ride along bustling Broadway Street reveals well-preserved buildings, including the statex2019;s oldest hotel. You can see engraved walrus tusks at the Corrington Museum, or get lost in riveting historical reenactments around town. If outdoor adventure is more your thing, there are plenty of ways to ramp up the adrenaline, from sledding with Alaskan Huskies on Laughton Glacier to rafting on Lynn Canal, the longest fjord in North America.

The canned salmon capital of the world, itx2019;s a hub for fishing and outdoor sports. Itx2019;s also home to three tribes of Northwest Coast Indians, making it a great place to get a taste for the local culture. Youx2019;ll see it in the colourful, hand-carved totems that line the cityx2019;s streets and parks, and in the unique stilted homes that cling to Deer Mountainx2019;s slopes. If you want to get up close and personal with nature, venture into the Tongass National Forest, the largest in the United States. Or head to Ketchikan Creek Waterfall for amazing views of downtown Ketchikan and a glimpse at the yearly salmon runs.
