First, decide which Province or Territory you would like to explore. This depends on the available time, what type of transportation you will use, and how much you want to rough it. Never forget the size of the country when you plan the route. Make sure to get yourself some good backcountry maps.
Visiting the same area is a different experience for every person. Plan your Canada trip wisely to ensure the travel route suits your interests and budget. Whatever area in Canada you plan to visit, get out of the cities and explore the backcountry.
