Day 2 Fri. TORONTO. NIAGARA FALLS.
Today you have a choice. Join our included sightseeing excursion to Niagara Falls, with a Maid of the Mist cruise for an up-close view of the falls, or continue your exploration of Toronto. World-class shopping abounds in the hundreds of establishments of the Underground City, miles of connected paths with shops and restaurants under the city. Tonight’s optional outing combines dinner with the spectacular sight of Toronto’s lights from the CN Tower, the world’s tallest free-standing structure.
Note: The operation of the Maid of the Mist cruise is subject to favorable weather and/or river conditions. Usually favorable conditions exist from May to the end of October. When unfavorable conditions exist, a walking tour through the scenic tunnels will be substituted.
Day 3 Sat. TORONTO-VIA Rail® CANADIAN TRAIN.
Transfer to Union Station for a late morning departure on “The Canadian,” VIA Rail®’s premier trans continental train. You will spend the next two days and nights on this classic trip across Canada’s heartland. Your first-class rail cars are refurbished art deco cars from the 1950s. Try the observation dome for unparalleled views of the Canadian countryside as you roll past Ontario’s landscapes or pass the time in one of the comfortable lounges. All meals are included, and you won’t want to miss any of them, as the chef offers a tempting array of soups, salads, entrees, and desserts. (L,D)
Note: For your convenience, baggage that will not be needed during the train journey will be checked through to Jasper. Checked baggage will not be accessible during the journey. Plan to pack an overnight case with necessities, including medications, eyeglasses, and other important items, for the train portion of the tour.

Day 5 Mon. VIA Rail® CANADIAN TRAIN-JASPER.
Wake up and enjoy a delicious breakfast before arriving in Edmonton this morning. After a short stop, continue on ”The Canadian” into the very heart of the Canadian Rockies.

A day for lovely scenery. Board your coach this morning and journey through JASPER NATIONAL PARK, stopping along the way at the Columbia Icefield for a snowcoach ride on the 1,000-foot thick Athabasca Glacier. Continue down the Icefield Parkway to Lake Louise, whose cold waters mirror the surrounding mountains and glaciers, before arriving in BANFF NATIONAL PARK for a leisurely two-night stay.

Day 9 Fri. BANFF-KAMLOOPS.
Leave Banff National Park and travel over Kicking Horse Pass on the Continental Divide. Travel through Yoho National Park, where pre-Cambrian fossils were discovered, and Glacier National Park, where recreational mountain climbing was introduced to North America a century ago when Swiss guides were brought to the area. Late this afternoon arrive at the cattle-ranching center of Kamloops, a Shuswap Indian word for “meeting of the waters.”
Day 10 Sat. KAMLOOPS-VANCOUVER.

You might consider an optional trip to Capilano Suspension Bridge followed by afternoon tea. For the shoppers and browsers, take a water taxi to lively Granville Island with its outdoor markets, street musicians, entertainers, and waterfront cafes. Or visit historic Gastown with its steam-powered clock, antique shops, art galleries, and street vendors. Your Cosmos host has many other suggestions for sights to visit and the best places to eat.
