have you concidered going west more in the US befor heading up to the boards
I have but also want to experience some of truer Canada on the trip so was considering coming in more East where less tourist go. This route is also the shortest route so while may spend more on fuel while in Canada, will probably balance out with the distance saving plus the two days it will save me at my pace..
I've been to Glacier and Idaho before but don't want to include them again on this trip. I've also done two cross country trips before with my kids so have most states covered though only scratched. But I hope to have many more chances to travel around the US before my travels days are over.
