"Highway 16 also in Alberta."
No need for this, but just for fun.............
Hwy 16 is 2,859 km (about 1770 miles) long, running from just west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba thru Saskatchewan and Alberta, then ending in Masset on the north end of Haida Gwaii, BC after a 6 to 9 hour sailing (depending on the weather and sea conditions) from Prince Rupert to Skidegate Landing.
Can get a little lumpy on Hecate Strait. Before more stringent regs, a trip I was on included 60kt winds and 30' seas. Just for fun.
And that was on the Queen of the North--the one that ran into Gill Island and sank.
