The World’s Top-rated Train Just Launched a New Route Through the Canadian Rockies
"A waterfall reachable via a rail-only viewing platform that cannot be accessed by car, giving train passengers a rare, up-close perspective that is otherwise impossible to obtain by road." - Katie Nadworny

We witnessed the Pyramid Creek Falls from the train window while passing in VIA Rail's 'The Canadian' from Vancouver to Jasper in July 2019. It is located between the towns of Blue River and Valemount in British Columbia. One of the train crew announced when we would be passing it and I was lucky enough to be on the same side as the falls and got a good picture through the window.

Amazing place. This picturesque waterfall is accessible on foot from Highway #5.

Not much for viewing unless you are on train. Can be seen kind of from highway but mostly blocked.
