We head to Canada for the Trans-Canadian Expedition. Dhruv Saxena recounts the mammoth road trip
Canada is the world’s second largest country in terms of area. It is spread over almost 10 million square kilometers divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories across a total of four time zones. It has the Atlantic Ocean to its east, the Pacific Ocean on the west and towards north lays the Arctic Ocean. And tying them all together is the Trans-Canada Highway stretching for 7,821km from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador in the east to Victoria, British Columbia in the west. Now that you have a fair idea of just how large Canada is, you will be able to appreciate the magnitude of the road trip we embarked upon recently. Starting from Quebec City, Ontario in the east we headed west on the TransCanada Highway covering all of Canada’s major cities, as well as picturesque towns and iconic locations before the culmination of our journey in Vancouver on the west coast. And before you think to yourself that travelling across Canada in the middle of winter sounds a bit daft, well, to you I say flip the pages to see for yourself just how gorgeous the country is with snow covered landscapes and the warmth of the festive season radiating through every part of it. We went in search of scenic roads, picturesque landscapes, great food and all of Canada’s must visit places. Making our lives easier was the fantastic network of roads all throughout and scenic highways that are capable of putting a smile on every enthusiast’s face. For the first leg of our journey, the route we took covered Quebec City-Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto-Sault Ste. Marie-Winnipeg.
