Re: Driving across the Alberta border
Anybody taken a tent trailer and / or a dog across. Anything special I should be wary of?

Re: Driving across the Alberta border
later, lol. Never did work it out. 
High summer? 
It was quite nice peering through the boarded up shutters, trying to find a cafe that was open and looking down the road past the roadblock to where the ploughed snow (and alleged walks/ viewpoints/ point we visited) was... and wondering...
It was interesting watching them take the dust sheets down to reopen the hotels in May as well... It hadn't occurred to us that because one of them was open and we had booked a room, that everything else (including the road lol) would be closed.
But maybe they've worked out a way to clear the snow and attract visitors early this year - it was just advice to check, really - we didn't lol.
(note to self. remember to try again this year. August?
)

We've done a motorhome - too big for the Going to the Sun Road and as mentioned before - no beef or citrus going, no wood comming back - they will check the fridge/freezer compartments.
