Wife and I have been wanting to take this trip from Toronto to Vancouver with few a days stopover at Jasper.
•Tentatively planning late March early April departure from Louisiana.Total trip about 4 weeks with stops so Amtrak portion needs to be booked by May 31 for cancellation privileges.
• Amtrak portion is Longview, TX to Chicago to Buffalo to Niagra Falls, ON to Toronto. Return will be Seattle to Los Angeles to San Antonio to Longview.
•From VIA schedule if we depart Toronto on a Sunday we arrive Jasper on Wednesday and depart Jasper Saturday and reach Vancouver on Sunday.
•From what I read I understand there could be serious delays so will plan arrival Toronto and departure Vancouver accordingly as we do with Amtrak.
•We have Marriott & Wyndham Rewards so any suggestions on hotels especially in Toronto, Jasper & Vancouver.
•Heard a lot about crowds at Toronto station. Would a Sunday departure be less crowded than Wednesday. Also I understand Prestige & Sleeper Plus get access to lounge area and early boarding.
