Nope - it doesn't go to Lake Louise or Banff. That route is the southern one now used by The Rocky Mountaineer.Does it go through where Lake Louise is?

Thanks - fixed now. Smugmug just did a web site revision.MrFSS, the link to your pictures seems to be broken
VIA has the Express Fares and 50% OFF Sales Year Round, its not just in Winter! Just keep checking on via.ca and if you can snag a cheap fare as soon as possible, they sell quick when they are Cheap! The weather in Vancouver is similar to Seattle except it is protected by Vancouver island so doesnt get as much Snow or Cold as Seattle! April to Ocober is the Perfect time to visit in BC! The rerason I liked my Winter Trip was the Price and also seeing the Snow and Beautiful Scenery from the Comfort and Warmth of a 1950s Budd Dome Car! Anytime is Beautiful in NW Canada, and the Cabin Country North of Toronto is Great also! I cant say much about the Praries, but they do keep us fed! You can afford the Canadian if you catch a Special Fare, its cheaper than the Western trains and it lasts 5 Days and 4 Nights! Tom's pictures are always First Rate as are several of our Members!Thanks, Jim, the help is much appreciated. I don't want to go in winter, I like traveling when the weather is nice. Of course, the west coast, Vancouver, I would think is nice weather like San Francisco? I live in Chicago, so Toronto to Vancouver would be perfect. Does it go through where Lake Louise is?
Going to go check out your suggestions now
I signed up for Via Preference (their frequent traveler program, even though I don't travel on Via frequently) and get email notifications of the 50% off sales.I'm going to see if they have email alerts to special fares - I hope they do!!
If you go in the summer, that's the high season, and expect to pay something like $1500 per person for the most basic Sleeper sections. You won't get Express Deals very easily in summer either.Thanks, Jim, the help is much appreciated. I don't want to go in winter, I like traveling when the weather is nice.

Section west of Edmonton is the mountainous part. But the plains are great too. The Canadian really has great scenery throughout.Awww.... maybe I'll drive. Or just take the train part way.
Any suggestions on what is the prettiest part? For example, on the Zephyr, the part I like best is, I think Denver to Salt Lake City, if I'm not mistaken.
