I am living in one such area which was built during the peak of gilded age. I simply don't see wat the fuss is about. I hear everyone I meet almost always mention about those golden days - through references about great grand parents. Maybe it was relevant to those times. Maybe it had something to do with the environment here. In heart of Europe you can build the fanciest of houses, trains, the works but everyone prefers to be outdoors no matter how many luxuries you give them indoors. Britain is exception in this regards - maybe because the outdoor weather is not so pleasant.

Some Mount Robson history: Many have assumed the mountain was named after John Robson who was Premier of British Columbia from August 1889 to June 1892, but it's actually meant to be named after Colin Robertson, who worked for the North West and Hudson Bay Companies. The diary of fur trader George McDougall refers to it as Mount Robertson in 1827. The indigenous Texqa'kallt people, on the other hand, call it Yexyexéscen which means "striped rock". Mt. Robson was first surveyed by James McEvoy in 1893 who determined it to be the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. The first documented ascent of Mount Robson, led by the young guide Conrad Kain, at its time the hardest ice face to be climbed on the continent, was achieved during the 1913 annual expedition organized by a large party of Alpine Club of Canada members who made use of the newly completed Grand Trunk Pacific railway to access the area.

@AverytheCubanAmerican Жыл бұрын
Yup, an advantage that riding a train has that a plane doesn't is seeing all the scenery closeup. Not to mention you have plenty of room to move around! And Will is right, you HAVE grown, in a good way! Taking trains and learning from another perspective of why it's so important that trains are an option helps people become more aware of their surroundings. In the US for example, we've become so accustomed to cars that the moment someone suggests funding transit and transit-oriented development, we snap at them. Reality is, cars aren't meant for everyone nor every place. Some places are just meant to be explored by train. And The Canadian is an example of that. Mount Robson is the highest in the Rockies, but not in the entirety of Canada! That title belongs to Mount Logan of the Saint Elias Mountains in Yukon. That one has an elevation of 5,956 m/19,541 feet and is the second-highest peak in the WHOLE of North America after Denali in neighboring Alaska!

Back in 1973, my newly wed wife and I shared a berth from Vancouver to Montréal on the Canadian after a year at UBC. Even for lovebirds, the quarters were beyond tight but it made getting up at dawn to see the sunrise from the dome easy. It’s still on our bucket list to do it again but next time we’ll do it in style in a roomette. Love your travels both on train and canal boat.

I used to do a lot of traveling by train - commuting though, going to and coming from work but still - after some time I realized time was passing differently on the train whenever it was moving. It's not _much_ of a difference but it's there and I think it's what makes trains seem special. The way the landscape rolls by, faster in the foreground and slower in the background is indicative of the warping of time as well. I do like trains. Nice to see these videos.

On ANY train, if there is a "Dome car", and you can get up/down the stairs...you REALLY need to experience it! The Rocky Mountaineer (not a "Dome car", but better) is nice, but a train with a real dome car gives you this extra specialness of being above the rest of the train, with the 360 degree view. Experienced it on the "Mountaineer" run of the Conway Scenic Railway in North Conway, New Hampshire. It was summer, so everything was warm/green, etc...but none of that mattered. The views from the dome car as you're riding along....so much better than if you just had a seat downstairs. I enjoy all your videos Mike....but these kind of "bucket list" trips....things you can't see/do everyday...are really great! And you brought Will along to add some more fun to it!!

A few years ago we too VIA from Halifax to Vancouver. Halifax to Montreal where we stayed overnight. Then Business Class to Toronto the next day. Then that evening we too the Canadian, and because it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, we booked Prestige Class: larger roon, with a queen sized bed, huge windows, all you can eat and all you can drink at the bar. We took it early spring because without the foliage you could see a lot more animals and terrain.

My mum and I have booked a trip to go on the Rocky Mountaineer and the Canadian in September this year. We're going with a UK based tour company we travelled with last January when we went to Norway and Sweden, called Great Rail Journeys, specialising in train journeys around the world. The Rockies look absolutely stunning in winter, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in summer/heading into Autumn. Especially since we experienced a magical winter holiday last year. We're starting in Vancouver, going on the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff, then getting a coach to Jasper and then the next day we go on the Canadian to Toronto. Our last day will be seeing the Niagara Falls. We've booked a cabin because we'd prefer to have our own toilet at night. We also upgraded to Gold Leaf service on the Rocky Mountaineer. With both upgrades it's not cheap, but it'll be totally worth it. It's not our first time to Canada, having done separate trips to Toronto and Vancouver in 2017 and 2018 and we want to do one last Canada trip next year just to tick a few other places on our bucket list, namely Montreal, Quebec and hopefully Nova Scotia.
