Travel expert, Tracy Duffin shares why every traveller should embark on a Rocky Mountaineer holiday<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I travelled onboard the Rocky Mountaineer in early spring. I took the First Passage to the West <\/b>package, which retraced the steps of 19th\u00a0century explorers. It was a great opportunity to traverse the Continental Divide and discover spectacular mountains. The package took us along Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Kamloops and Vancouver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The GoldLeaf Service heightened the experience. The fully-domed panoramic windows made me feel like I was right in the middle of the breathtaking landscapes. Gourmet meals, a separate area for dining, and luxurious accommodations were wonderful perks.<\/p>\n

During my trip, I saw plenty of wildlife \u2013 everything from deer, mountain goats, coyotes, bald eagles,\u00a0to black bears! The landscape was amazingly diverse. I loved seeing the rocky mountains and the Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n

I must say that it was a bucket list trip! I would recommend this trip to couples, mature friends, and empty nesters. Consider booking in early spring to view the wildlife<\/a>, and remember that\u00a0a great camera<\/a> is a must!<\/p>\n
