- How is the terrain? Flat, mountainous?
- Any particular places you’d recommend to stay and any sites to see?
- We’re really hoping to see the northern lights if the skies cooperate (that’s not a question, just a bucket list item!)
- Are gas stations plentiful along the highway?
Thanks for your feedback!

A Canadian’s point of view….
We’ve done your route several times in the last 2 years, and will be again this July.
I’ll leave to others on T-Mobile and Verizon, but I’m betting there’s no issues.
We’ve never had problems with our Canadian provider and your entire trip along the Trans Canada is well serviced for everything.
Nothing anywhere that you’d call a mountain, and only a few hills, none worth concerning yourself with.
There’s a good selection of Provincial Campgrounds but like everywhere else these days, availability can be a challenge.

Northern lights? Maybe if the timing is right, but remember you’re still below the Canada/US border of most the middle and Western states.
Gas stations are not an issue anywhere on that part of the Trans Canada.
PM me if you need/want more info.
