About Journey through the Clouds:

The two-day long Journey through the Clouds travels between Vancouver and Jasper traversing some of the most remote landscapes in Canada, with scenery and wildlife largely untouched by humans. Pass the rushing Hell’s Gate—named for explorer Simon Fraser’s assertion that “surely these are the gates of Hell”—and Cisco Crossing. Between Kamloops and Jasper, the train passes the glacier-fed, three tiered Pyramid Falls; Mount Albreda; and Mount Robson—the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 metres (12,972 feet).
