A couple of years ago we treated ourselves to tea at the Fairmont there, too. It was fabulous. The view just cannot be matched. And the food is pretty spectacular, too. I'm glad the roads weren't closed for your trip. We're hoping and praying for more rain to come and dampen this dreadful fire season.

When I was a child watching old black and white movies from the 1940's, ridng a fancy train with a dining car and sleeping room seemed extremely fancy.

First the train ride and then the road trip to Banff. This place has been on my bucket list for some time now. I have been to Glacier Nat'l Park and have been worried about the wildfires, I hope the rain helps put out those fires. Love the views, it is a gorgeous hotel.
