VIA Rail's "The Canadian": General Thoughts And Highlights

I wrote my formal review on my train trip from Vancouver to Toronto on VIA Rail’s “The Canadian” back in March, and I have neglected to write about my informal thoughts and highlights about this trip until now. There were several things worth talking about that I did not get to mention in my review. I want to talk about everything from the views, to the senior clientele, and everything in between. I will try to leave no stone unturned on my thoughts of this Trans-Canadian trip of a lifetime.

A Quick Stop In The Mountain Town Of Jasper, Alberta

While on VIA Rail's "The Canadian" from Vancouver to Toronto, there were extended stops where we could walk around for a specified period of time. There were two places where we were able to get off the train and stretch our legs, and I will talk about one of those places. We got to explore the municipality of Jasper in Alberta for about an hour. I have never been to Jasper before, and it was nice to be in a mountain town with the picturesque setting of the Rocky Mountains surrounding it. People come to Jasper primarily for tourism, including exploring Jasper National Park.
