The Most Breathtaking Train Journeys Across Canada’s Landscapes

February 3, 2025 by Victor JovanovichLeave a Comment

Canada’s size and natural diversity make rail travel one of the best ways to see the country. Unlike driving, where attention stays on the road, or flying, where landscapes disappear beneath the clouds, trains provide an open view of mountains, forests, rivers, and plains. Trains also reach areas that cars cannot. Remote regions, untouched by highways, come into sight through windows or glass-domed observation cars. Train journeys across Canada’s … [Read more...]

Amazing day trips from Juneau

May 16, 2023 by Hailey MartinLeave a Comment

Juneau, the state capital of Alaska, is a gorgeous destination in its own right, but its principal attraction is its position as a gateway to some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world. The city itself offers a wealth of attractions - you could spend days exploring the cafes and restaurants, kayaking in the Gastineau Channel, or hiking in the hills that surround it - but venturing out of the city on day trips opens up some of … [Read more...]
