Tasty stops when traversing the Canadian Rockies by rail
CANADA
On a recent trip from Calgary, Alberta, to Nanaimo, British Columbia, by way of tour bus, train and ferry, we had two unexpectedly great culinary experiences. In Jasper, Alberta, we picked up a couple of sandwiches from the Patricia Street Deli to eat on the train. They were to die for. In Smithers, British Columbia, en route to Prince Rupert, the ViaRail train stopped just long enough for us to pick up a couple of cups of pear and butternut squash soup from the Trackside Cantina, a Mexican restaurant in the tiny station. So good.
