Woolrich Adventures on the Rocky Mountaineer

by: Justin Gural


Some say the Rocky Mountaineer offers the most spectacular rail route in the world. Chugging 550 miles through the heart of the Canadian Rockies aboard the "First Passage to the West" vacation package, travelers gain a unique perspective of how the original 19th century explorers first witnessed -and enjoyed- this pristine landscape.

 

An engineering and transportation feat in itself during the western expansion, Woolrich is proud to have supported the locomotive boom during their storied 180-year history by means of product development such as the Railroad Vest - designed for conductors to hold their pocket watches, tickets and other loco gadgetry.

 

Encompassing a 36-hour time-warp with a stopover in Kamloops, traveling by rail was a much-needed change of pace from the common -and sometimes overused- flight and auto options. Woolrich is giving away this same, spectacular railroad adventure in Spring 2011, so keep a beat on Woolrich.com for sweeps info and entry dates.
