Does the CanAm/US-52 Highway have a lot of traffic?
We are going to vacation at Banff and Jasper and the prairie provinces for three months this summer. We are driving from Ohio. Is that CanAm/US-52 route a good choice?
We are towing a 21 foot travel trailer. I want to drive slowly. I really don't favor a route with a lot of traffic volume because people will be passing us all day and that adds to the stress. Google gives me CanAm (Jamestown, Minot, Portal, and Weyburn) in the autorouter function, but it looks like it funnels a lot of traffic to Regina, Saskatoon, and Alberta generally. It would be countryside I have never seen, so that interests us. We could stop at the museum in Moosejaw or some birding locations on the way.
I saw some of the other threads that gasoline is cheaper in the US so it makes a case to go further west on I-94. My wife and I are still contending whether we take the ambling small highways or four lane highways. I think the four lanes are safer and less stressful and those are my preference.
Thanks for your advice.
