May 15th, 2024 – Another wonderful day on the Rocky Mountaineer from Kamloops to Jasper!
As we left for the train station, a man from the back of the bus came running up to the driver and guide to tell them that his wife was not on the bus. The bus stopped and let the guide out who ran back to the hotel while the bus circled around the block. I immediately thought that when it comes to group tours, there is always someone who is late. It turned out, she was on time, she simply got on the wrong bus and was safely headed to the train. We ended up sitting with that same couple at lunch, they are from Oxford, and both very nice people.
The glass domed cars are great but pictures can end up with glare or reflection off of the glass. One the lower level, next to the dining area, there is an open air section which is great for taking pictures or to go outside and for fresh air. I was regularly looking for the mile markers along the side of the track and marking the times on the map so that I had an idea when the next point of interest might be so that I could be downstairs to take pictures. I wasn’t the only one doing that and began to notice that if you didn’t get their early or if they made an announcement, you may not get a good spot!
