The departure from Jasper takes the train past Moose Lake, before traversing Mount Robson Provincial Park. In the early decades, passengers could alight onto the viewing platform west of the station to view Mount Robson. The same was true above Bulkley Gate, near Hazelton. This section between Smithers and Terrace features some of the most incredible mountain scenery in the country, and the run east of Prince Rupert offers a picturesque journey beside the Skeena River.
