This scenic train ride in BC transports passengers to the “Old West”

If you love a scenic train ride, get ready for the ultimate summer adventure for the whole family to enjoy. And if you’re a history buff, even better, because this ride via the Kettle Valley Steam Railway transports passengers back in time to the Old West!

The themed experience takes guests on a journey to a time ruled by the notorious ‘Garnet Valley Gang,’ who stop the train to ‘rob’ passengers for local charities. So make sure to bring some change for a good cause!

In exchange, you’ll get to enjoy a decadent BBQ feast at the station at the end of your journey, including chicken, baked beans, and salads.

Note that the railway’s vintage coaches have a limited number of wheelchair-accessible spaces, so booking early is encouraged.
