Hi inlanikai, I am on the Grand Canadian Rocky tour now and unfortunately the wildfires are affecting us. Our train ride from Vancouver to Jasper had to be cancelled, so we traveled by bus to Kamloos for an overnight at a nice Delta hotel, and then arrived in Jasper the next day. There was some smoke, but not unbearable. I live in upstate NY and before we left, we had smoke at home. Our tour director is great and making the best out of the trip. The scenery is still beautiful and everything else fantastic. Tauck advised us that they will be giving us some money back after the trip is completed. We were told that we actually the scenery on the bus is better because part of the train ride is during the night and part of the train ride is all trees. I am disappointed about the train, but we have to be safe.
The other thing I should add is that the wildfire situation is very fluid. The fires can be out of control one day and then under control the next day so it’s very unpredictable.
