The First Passage to the West route is a two-day journey that travels between Vancouver and Banff. Beyond the two-day trip, you’ll definitely want to plan to spend some additional time in Vancouver and Banff before and after the train journey.
During the route between Vancouver to Kamloops, you’ll be journeying through the rich agricultural area of Fraser Valley and entering into a more arid, canyon region of British Columbia.
During this visit to Vancouver, I finally got to experience the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This suspension bridge is really more of a park with a few boardwalk paths curving around the lush forest where the bridge is located.
I was pleasantly surprised that this is more than just a tourist trap attraction and something I look forward to revisiting and taking my girls back to experience!
