While on the Trans Canadian railway, passengers who love watching the world's natural wonders should stop in Vancouver to witness some of the most spectacular storms in North America. This awe-inspiring experience has been ranked by Lonely Planet, a prominent travel source, as one of the most amazing Canadian adventures. As many as 15 awesome storms can be experienced each month between November and March, as visitors can either get soaked in the ocean's spray or stay bundled up safely in their hotel rooms.

Due to a persistent low-pressure system and an unobstructed path from the Gulf of Alaska, the storms that hit Canada's West Coast are consistently intense. Tourists should stay a safe distance from the heavy-hitting waves, but many daredevils like to walk along the shore where they can feel the ground vibrating with nature's fury.

For an all-encompassing view, passengers on Canadian rail tours can walk up the Wild Pacific Trail or take a storm-watching tour from Tofino. Many other hotels along the coast offer their sea-facing rooms during the storm season at inexpensive rates so that visitors can snuggle with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
