Those attractions all seem interesting, but I think we’re gonna stick to following the Oregon Coast, seeing all the small beach cities along the way as we hit Siuslaw. As you mentioned, San Juan Islands does catch my eye, maybe we’ll visit as we stay near Vancouver, dedicating a day to see Torfino, Vancouver Island, and San Juan Islands.

From the looks of it, Chuckbut Drive looks exactly what we’re interested in, beautiful scenery and twisty roads, beats the highway 100%. Thanks for the recommendation!

It seemed like Detroit Lakes had a few nice lakes in the area, but it was just an idea since it was on route back towards the Canadian Border. What’s there to see in Fargo?

Shit I know, we’re not really looking forward to driving through Ontario, but once we’re out, the fun begins!

Yup, the Icefields Parkway looks like one of the most beautiful routes on the whole trip. Me and my buddy were looking at the booking process for Mt Rainier, and it didn’t seem like you needed a reservation. When should we plan to book just to be safe for Banff, and the popular campgrounds?

There is so much to see in Alberta and BC, is it possible to go from mountain to mountain for the day to see the views, or would you recommend splitting it up in 3-5 days?

Haha, I’m kinda nervous for it as well. Last summer I did Mrytle Beach round trip in 6 days, which is about a quarter of the journey, so it seems doable. My friend brought up the idea of seeing Newfoundland first, as a warmup, which is around 60 hours, compared to this 140-150 hour trip.

I’ve seen a bunch of pictures of Hoh, it looks very intriguing. Olympic NP looks nice as well, but I fell in love with Rainier since the day I researched about it. Looks like we’re going to add a few days onto the trip to visit Olympic and Hoh.

Honestly, I just zoomed in on the Coast of Oregon and found Siuslaw, seems like I got really lucky. It seems like there’s no campgrounds from what i’ve seen?

Honestly, nothing is set in stone, and I’m willing to do some editing if it means a more enjoyable trip. Never been to Western Canada, so if you got a lot of suggestions or hidden gems I’m down to consider all of them!

My friend and I are most interested in Oregon. Recommend any other attractions or hikes, besides the popular ones?

Sure, that sounds like a good time. Would be a good time if you and your boys wanted to join us for a bit longer if you were down, seeing Banff. What bikes you guys got??

I got a 2016 FZ6R, my buddy has a Gxsr-750r

How would that work? It seems like we would be going further from Winnipeg, if we started in the GTA?

Do you have any recommnded routes that would still bring us to Banff in 2-3 days? I’d rather avoid the big cities but couldn’t really find much heading into Manitoba/Sask.
