Rocky Mountaineer routes quiz: and what mountain animal are you?

Yes, this is a blog post about Rocky Mountaineer routes … but do you ever do those online quizzes, like What Cheese Are You or What Nationality Is Your Soul? Of course I would never waste time on something like that, especially because according to the last What Animal Are You quiz I did I am a sheep! Puh-leeze. Obviously I am a tiger, or jaguar or … or … a mountain lion!

I was so annoyed (and I mean, if I were a sheep would I even be annoyed? Wouldn’t I just, you know, follow along and bleat?) so I did a Find Your Spirit Animal quiz right away, which should have been a deeper look into my soul. My spirit animal is a spider! Seriously? My dreams of being a mountain lion are getting farther and farther away.

How to choose your life changing route

However, some tests are helpful. (And no, I’m not talking about What is Your Love Language.) Rocky Mountaineer, the luxury train through the Canadian Rockies, has designed a Mountaineer Routes Selector Quiz to help you figure out the best Rocky Mountaineer route for you, and I’m sure it’s more accurate than that stupid sheep quiz (because I am so clearly a mountain lion).

Rocky Mountaineer Routes Selector Quiz

The Rocky Mountaineer Routes Selector Quiz consists of five questions such as What Movies do You Like to Watch and What is #1 on Your To-Do List? Once you have answered the questions you will not only know which of the Rocky Mountaineer routes is best for you but what kind of traveller you are.

Which route is for you?

What kind of traveller are you?

Of course I did the quiz. I am a Dream Seeker! (This beats a sheep any day.)

I am, and I quote, “the definition of a daydreamer.” My fantasy is to venture into untouched landscapes and take the road less travelled. My dream is to see Canada’s most breathtaking and diverse landscapes, and to be humbled by the majesty of it all.

Of course a mountain lion is never really humbled, but never mind. I’m all about untouched landscapes and roads less travelled.

Dreamy journeys through clouds!

The best Rocky Mountaineer route for a Dream Seeker is Journey Through The Clouds

The Journey Through the Clouds route starts in Jasper, passes Mount Robson – the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies – and takes in the mist of Pyramid Falls (not literally, I hope, because then we’d all get wet). It stops in Kamloops overnight where a Witless Blonde awaits (I’m talking about a beer at the Noble Pig Brew Pub, thanks very much) and finishes up in Vancouver.

Or, if you’re a backwards Dream Seeker (and I am, at times, quite backwards) you can do it the other way.

HOWEVER

The Rocky Mountaineer Route I am actually going to do this summer (yes, I’m doing another Rocky Mountaineer journey! Hurrah!) is not Journey Through the Clouds, but the Rainforest to Gold Rush train trip. According to the Rocky Mountaineer Routes Selector Quiz, it’s ideal for the Adventure Bound personality.

Which really makes me wonder if I am who I think I am. Either that or there’s a bit of the Adventure Bound Traveller in all of us.

Rainforest to Gold Rush

Rainforest to Gold Rush

I chose the Rainforest to Gold Rush Rocky Mountaineer route so I can, according to the selector description:

• travel fearlessly into the wild and rugged terrain of Western Canada
• revel in the dramatic landscape changing before my eyes
• have a never-ending adventure as the Mountaineer train sails through the ranch lands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region and BC’s coastal rainforest.

This, as you can clearly see, is a mountain lion adventure, which clearly proves I am not a sheep. (And my spirit animal is not a spider.)

So. In the spirit (animal) of online quizzes and best Rocky Mountaineer routes, I offer you my own quiz so you can find out what Rocky Mountain animal you are and what is your true Rocky Mountaineer soul trip.

Is this your ideal Rocky Mountaineer soul trip meal?
