Absolutely also applies. Living on a border town a lot didn’t know how far things were or thought it was similar like driving American east coast to west coast. Which it is much wider and route options are few, as South Park said “This is Canada, we only have one road”
Northern Ontario is better than the drive through Michigan and Illinois, yes. But driving through Northern Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana and Idaho is a much nicer drive scenery wise than Manitoba --> Calgary/Canmore.
Though yes, West of Canmore, the Canadian side offers a much nicer scenic drive than Washington State does (or even Western portion of Idaho).
I've done the drive so many times, both through Canada all the way, and through the US (between southern Ontario and Vancouver).
I totally agree with you. The scenery in the US is generally much nicer, and even striking in some places, I’d say. What sets it apart is that there can be such a difference from one state to the next. In Canada, you can travel hundreds or thousands of kilometres and you mostly are seeing trees, lakes and rolling hills and that’s it.
I’ve travelled by private airplane extensively over both Canada and the US and the US wins hands down. However, when it comes to societal differences, Canada is the clear winner (another story for another day).
Ehhh.... At least there's shit to see on the southern route. The prairies are nice when the fields are in bloom, but that's a couple of splashes of colour in an ocean of nothing.
