How can I plan the best road trip?

What is the best website to plan a road trip with my family across canada?

  • next summer my family is going to edmonton to celebrate my cousins wedding and we want to make a vaction out of it but want a simple web site to help plan the trip with things to do and see out starting point is thunder bay ontario going west til we hit the yellowhead highway with stops in winnipeg regina edmaonton and a short trip to the rockies and a few other small cities and towns

  • Answer:

    Definitely call CAA. One of your responders already mentioned that they will provide maps and plan your route. By the way, the Yellowhead highway heads north just ouside of Portage in Manitoba and you'll end up in Saskatoon, a couple hours north of Regina. If you want to make your trip a memorable one take the Yellowhead out to Edmonton, on your way back, head west on Yellowhead to Jasper, then south on Columbia Parkway to the Trans -Canada and head home on it. That way you'll see both Edmonton, the Rockies, Banff, Lake Louise, Calgary and Regina on your way back home.Great trip.On your way back, you may want to take a short detour off the trans canada and visit the Hoodoos, in the Drumheller area as well as the Dinosaur Museum there. Only an hour or so detour.

I know I'm not exactly answering your question, but I did drive cross-country in the US. I went to AAA to plan, if you have that in Canada. I pasted the site below. There are also various hotel, motel, restaurant deals for people who have a AAA card. We also needed its roadside assistance when a tire blew on our way home. It nice to know there's someone to call of there's any car problems. The one piece of advice I would give though would be to rent a car. We did, thankfully. I would not have wanted what happened to that car to have happened to mine, but what do you expect about 9,000 miles later.

Try charting your trip w/rand mcnally. They're known for their atlases. I found a few other sites, but I don't know how good they are. Hope you and your family enjoy your trip!

Hey from Edmonton!! Not a website, but I would contact the CAA in Ontario. Lots of great info, and they can build you a 'triptik' which maps out all the highlights along the way. Also, contact Travel Alberta, Saskatchewan Tourism, and Manitoba Tourism - they have great websites and can send you hard copies of maps, campground and accommodation guides to take with you. What a great trip... have fun!

If you know in advance where you want to go, CAA will plan out your map for you if you are a member. Also, Alberta Tourism is doing a huge promotion where you can plan your trip and see the best of Alberta. I think it also has all the info you could need on hotels, destinations, routes and sites of interest. Travelalberta.com I have done the trip from Alberta to Ontario and loved it. Travel Safe.
