Moving in Canada's Trans-Canada Highway Travelling Itineraries
This information is provided by our sister web site TransCanadaHighway.com, the authorititative reference to travel along our national highways
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.
You can also refer to our Accommodations search to check room rates and availability for hotels, motels, and beds & breakfasts along the highway (and off ther beaten path, too!).
