• Theres a lot to see in Canada, and theres no
  better way to see it than up close and personal.
  Taking a road trip is the best way to get up
  close and personal with the vast Canadian
  landscape. It gives you the freedom to go where
  you want when you want, while experiencing what
  you want. You could hang out at the beach,
  whale-watch, take a hike on a mountain, and so
  much more.

• Through road tripping, you truly are in
  control of what you do. However, what you do,
  experience, and see depends on where you go. Some
  of the best road trip destinations in Canada
  include
• Icefields Parkway in Alberta
• Regina to Saskatoon in Saskatchewan
• Montréal to the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec

Vast Icefields Parkway in Alberta

• Icefields Parkway in Alberta is located between
  Banff and Jasper, in proximity to their infamous
  national parks and the Rocky Mountains. The
  parkways name stems from the large Columbia
  Icefield, where visitors can hike on the
  Saskatchewan and Athabasca glaciers.

  waterfalls, and woodland wilderness, making it
  the perfect place to explore, take photos, or
  camp overnight. In fact, Jasper National Park has
  campsites at its one of the worlds largest
  dark sky reserves.

Comforting Prairie from Regina to Saskatoon in
Saskatchewan

• Saskatchewan is one of Canadas most notable
  prairie provinces, located right alongside the
  Trans-Canada Highway. For road trippers, its
  best to start in Regina and end in Saskatoon.

  Police Heritage Centre (home of the Mounties) and
  the famous Sunset-Retreat Ceremony.

  Mounties in Regina. The city is known for its
  history of bootlegging during the 1920s
  (Prohibition Era) and its historical sites. After
  a drink in Moose Jaw, continue to Swift Current
  and Lake Diefenbaker. Youll find country living
  and hospitality in both of these place. Finally,
