Martin Adelman:
We are thinking of travel to Calgary in July 2008 for the Stampede. Leaving from Seattle Washington. There is only one possible way. Amtrak operates a daily train from Seattle to Vancouver, where you would have to stop for at least one night. Then Rocky Mountaineer Railtours operates a train that runs from Vancouver to Kamloops, stops overnight, and continues to Calgary the next day. This service runs three times per week. They're in the packaged travel business and their web site emphasizes all the other things you can buy along with the train, but it should be possible to just buy the train ride plus the hotel in Kamloops. -- Mark Brader | "...as many as my brain could handle Toronto | off the top of its head..." | --Steve Summit My text in this article is in the public domain. |

I guess the semi alternative would be Amtrak to Vancouver then VIARail to Edmonton but how to get from Edmonton to Calgary? Bus? |

Amtrak Empire Builder Seattle to somewhere in Western Montana - where can you get a bus up across the border? My guess would be somewhere related to Glacier Park. Whitefish? |
