Lots of wide open flat fields south and east of Edmonton, and unless you stay on the few major hiways the speed limits are lower than in the US.

The most scenic route would be to go West to Washington State, cross into BC up thru the mountains. The only problem is you end up crossing over the Continental Divide twice, once in the US and once in Canada. Not tough, but pulling a big 5th wheel it may not be what you'd like doing.
