Seattle to Calgary
Has anyone driven from Seattle to Calgary? Using Canada Highway #1? Wondering how the road is with a Class A. Will probably continue on to Regina and Winnipeg. Suggestions welcomed.

TransCanada Highway is very nice when there is no snow. Calgary area is nice. I recommend checking out some dinosaur attractions in the Calgary ..Brooks area. I was told that 90% of the dinosaurs that are in worldwide museums, come from this area. There is an area called the Badlands that are like the Badlands in the states....scorpions, rattlesnakes, sagebrush and such. Alberta is considered a semi-arid desert. It is a way cool area to visit!!..Have Fun!!
Drumheller is south of Calgary. It's where many dinosaur fossils were found over the years. Many years ago they had an extremely interesting dinosaur museum there. Well worth checking out if you're interested that part of earth's history.
As far as the trans-Canada highway goes... it's the major highway that runs right across Canada, so once you're out of the mountains of British Columbia/Alberta it's a good highway. The highway in the mountain areas is typical of mountain highways with twists & turns, etc, if I remember it correctly. Been a lot of years since I was on it.
