One of Canada’s most popular train tours is the full-day tour to Agawa Canyon, covering the stunning Canadian wilderness of Northern Ontario. Departing from the train depot (87 Huron Street) in downtown Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the stunning beauty of the mixed forests of the Canadian Shield brings the landscape art of the Group of Seven (a group of Canadian landscape painters) to life. As if the rugged landscapes, forests, lakes and rivers weren’t enough, the train descends to the canyon floor, an area created more than 1.2 billion years ago by faulting. You even get the engineer’s “bird’s-eye view” thanks to locomotive-mounted cameras projecting images via flat screen monitors installed throughout the coaches. This year’s tour season runs from August 3 to October 15; peak season runs from September 17 to October 10.
