Rocky Mountaineer - Fraser Discovery Route

During the last weekend in May, I was lucky enough to experience the unforgettable Fraser Discovery Route on board the .Rocky Mountaineer.
We set-off from Whistler bright and early, on a cloudless Saturday morning. The weather was perfect to enjoy the splendour of the mountains, lakes and endless blue sky - truly the best that BC has to offer.

I experienced the luxurious GolfLeaf service on board the train, and settled back for a day of breathtaking scenery, gourmet food (and lots of it!) and great company, along with 20 Travel Agents from the Pacific Northwest.
We left my home town of Whistler and travelled through Pemberton and then along the shorelines of Anderson and Seton lakes.

The day was full of informative commentary from our hostesses, trips down to the dining car for scrumptious meals, viewing on the back of the car from the observation deck, and just relaxing in the comfort of GoldLeaf Service.

We ended the day in Quesnel, and overnighted at the Sandman Hotel. A few of us made the trip to downtown Quesnel, and visited the casino (I won $60!!), and then the local pub, which had some great entertainment.
The next day, bright and early we boarded the train again for more stunning scenery and great gastronomic experiences... through the Continental divide, past Mount Robson, the higest peak in the Canadian Rockies (12,972 feet), and ending in the town of Jasper.

Many thanks to Rocky Mountaineer and our fantastic Hostess, Monica Leeck, who wined and dined our group, and showed us the very best of the Rocky Mountaineer products and services. I can't wait to spread the word and start to offer this fantastic train journey to my clients who are visiting British Columbia and want to see the very best parts of the country.
