Rocky Mountaineer Amazing Sights Along the Way
Howe Sound
North America's southernmost fjord, Howe Sound extends from West Vancouver towards Squamish, offering an expansive playground for sailing, diving, fishing, and ocean gazing.
Porteau Cove
Complete with clear waters and an old sunken ship to explore, Porteau Cove is a diver's dream come true.
Green Lake
Named for its milky jade-coloured water, Green Lake is surrounded by birch trees and smiling swimmers who may be blissfully unaware of how cold glacial water can be.
Anderson Lake
Views of mountain peaks, endless sunshine, and pristine water conditions make this lake a secret recreational paradise. The tracks follow the lake shore for 24 kilometres (15 miles).
Seton Lake
Once upon a time, Seton and Anderson Lakes were one body of water. Cut in two by an ancient landslide, Seton Lake is now a greener, milkier shade than her blue-watered sister.
Fraser Canyon
During the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, the "Grand Canyon of the North" was flooded with over 10,000 gold prospectors eager to stake a claim .
Mount Robson
Look up, waaaaay up. Also known as "The Great White Fright", Mount Robson claims the title of the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at a staggering 3,954 meters (12,972 feet).
