One of British Columbia's smallest trains trundles locals and visitors through arguably the province's most scenic short rail journey. Call ahead to book your spot, especially in summer when the 30 seats fill-up quickly. Aim for the Friday service, which is more amenable to day trippers. It's less than two hours to Seton Portage and back but on the way you'll be immersed in spectacular lake and mountain views and a menagerie of wildlife-watching, often including bears, bighorn sheep and grouse skittering alongside.
