Thoughts about traveling through Canada.
Traveling in Canada is a very pleasant experience. The country is beautiful and the people are very nice.
Diesel gas is cheaper than regular gas, $.88 C per liter versus $.99 C per liter. The gas stations can be
Very far apart. Fill up when you can.
The grocery stores may be small but they hold a lot of merchandise.
Be sure you have a percolator or coffee press for your morning coffee, if and
When you boondock. The McDonalds may be far, far away.
Thick grits are a good substitute for instant potatoes….if you’re from the South.
Don’t pay any attention to the “campground full” signs. Someone may have just left and you can
Get their site. Be sure to ask. Locals will tell you where to boondock.
Campground facilities in the Parks are very nice and clean.
The Rockies are more majestic than anything you can imagine.
Wildlife can and do appear anywhere along the road. Their presence is usually marked by a large
Group of parked automobiles.
The roads can be wonderful or horrible, just like the lower 48. Frost heaves are a reality but
They are very well marked. Speed limits vary and may be lower than you would expect out of
Respect for the wildlife’s safety.
Be sure to consider buying a National Parks Pass. It is good for a year and will quickly become a bargain.
Plan to travel in Canada. It is awesome.
