MovingInCanada.com Road Info


Our itineraries (see below) have these features:

  1. Details on over 3500 points along the highway
  2. Segment overview information, about what not to miss, regarding the history, geology and nature along the way. Things to see & do in various communities, and in between them.
  3. Each segment includes an overview Google map, with a Satellite image option, so you may zoom in for more detail, and observe natural features.
  4. An elevation map for each segment ties in with the geological/geographical narrative, and is of special interest to those cycle-touring across Canada.
  5. Pop-up Google map xoom for every point & exit from the highway, so you can better plan your trip, and your stops.

Here is a listing of Itineraries for a drive across the country. We also have a quick mileage (kilometer) chart.

Depending on how long you want to drive each day, which can be influenced, how much site-seeing you are doing, if you are driving with kids, or the weather and quality of roads, or the hours of sunlight at different times of the year.

The itineraries listed here are typically about 150 to 250 km (taking approximately 2 hours of driving time). You can choose one or more segments per day to suit your preferred pace. The itineraries are designed like bus schedules, with both eastbound and westbound distances on the same page, so you only need one set to the trip there and back.

Visitor Feedback

My friend and I stayed in BC this summer - for three weeks. This homepage was a really good help for our travel around Vancouver Island and the Rocky Mountains. We went on our own by car. The informations about the regions, the maps and the good tourist informations where really helpful for us.

in 2006 we camped all the way to the Mountains - used your itineraries. In 2008 we are heading east and the first thing I did was visit your site. Thanks tor all the wonderful treats hidden in your pages.

The Transcanada Highway website and associated links is the absolute best travel website I have ever seen and the easiest to use. Thank you so much. It was almost one stop shopping. I threw away the Triple A Guide.

We have just returned from a fabulous visit to Canada (from Edmonton to Nanaimo) and used your excellent printable PDF itineraries, which we took on your trip and found invaluable. Many thanks!!!!!!

Your website is my favourite. It is so well laid out and easy to use. When I'm looking for something interesting or exciting I always start with this site. When I plan trips... I start my research at this site. There is such a huge amount of information about Canada and ... all the wonderful treasures. Thank you for continuing to update the site.
