The Rocky Mountaineer is a luxury train service that offers multiple routes across western Canada and the American Southwest.

Humphries noted the train's lavish touches as memorable parts of her trip, including the glass-dome windows offering panoramic views, as well as the high-quality food and beverages on board.

Since this train is only operational during daylight hours, passengers will never miss an opportunity to view the changing leaves in the fall.
