00:00Travel Amnesia readers say this is the best train in the entire world and I had to hop on board for myself to see if it was worth the hype.
00:06Spoiler alert, it is.
00:08The Rocky Mountaineer is a seasonal journey that brings you through the Canadian Rockies lending ample views to some of the world's most beautiful vistas through their iconic glass dome ceilings and outdoor flatbed car.
00:17I opted for the most popular route, the first passage to the west, which brings travelers from Vancouver to Banff on an epic two-day journey.
00:23The ride starts at the Rocky Mountaineer station in Vancouver and I couldn't have imagined a better send-off than this bagpipe performance and the warm farewell from the Rocky Mountaineer staff.
00:32The seats were spacious and comfy, shout out to the heaters.
00:35There was also a full-service bar with refreshments served by the onboard hosts who, more importantly, have a wealth of knowledge about the history of the areas we were passing through.
00:43Breakfast and lunch is served downstairs in the dining car where the food and wine is next level.
00:47I'd come back on board for this focaccia and gnocchi alone.
00:50All things considered, I think our readers definitely got this one right.
