Holiday Train Chase Day Trip - Dec 13, 2024

The one day train chase to intercept the Holiday Train is back! We'll load into the van at 9:30am to head North to intercept the train before the Innisfail  show. We'll then chase and leapfrog the train back to Calgary, stopping for the scenes all along the way. We'll be well positioned to capture the train crossing the Bow River in Calgary, with the City in the Background. 

We'll get you back home by 8:30pm. This day trip is $300+gst per person.

This tour can be more rigorous than our regular trips, with the fast ins and outs from the van, tromping through deep snow and ice, and the occasional short hike needed to access locations. This tour is for any level of photographer, but it is best if you already have a good understanding of the manual operation of your camera. We will be photographing in all types of lighting and weather conditions.
