If driving from Toronto then Michigan (Upper Penninsula exempt) Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa & Kansas etc dont hold the same anticipation as driving through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, the west end of Montana, Wyoming and Washington State.
I agree its quicker and probably less expensive to fly TO to Calgary than drive or bus it or Amtrak it. |

Just another option of avoiding the barren wastelands of the Prairies say by going Buffalo NY to Havre MT. |

Re: 2012 - Travel Canada
So, some things to see, from right to left:
- NF outports, rent a boat and go and see the evidence of forced collectivization, a bit like Chernobyl but won't make your bits drop off - NS tar ponds, save having to visit Alberta - Cape Breton, scenic, like Cornwall - Quebec City, the only part of Canada that's charming in a European way - Toronto, quite a good selection of cheese - Rockies, bit like the Alps but in Canada - Vancouver, can't say I've ever fancied going but it's where the airport is on the left coast hth. |
