Trip planning

#1 Unread post by Amdonim »

Hey all, it's been a while since I've been around, but I have a big trip coming up that I figured I'd share, and hopefully get some helpful tips on as well.
My buddy and I are making plans for next summer, looking to ride from Alabama to California, then up through washington, then through Canada to Toronto, then head back south towards Alabama again. We've given ourselves a year to get the planning and financial part taken care of.

The one thing we really want to try is to camp as much as possible. We've got most of the tentative places picked out for the US parts, but I have no real experience with Canada. For all you Canadians, I'd like to ask what the availability of camping is and information on the best routes. We're looking to hit Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to planning this out, and hopefully doing it for real next may. Thanks for your time!

Here is a link to some scenic motorcycling routes in my neck of the woods in PDF format

Here is a link to Ontarios Provincial Parks it show their locations. You should be able to find one near whatever route you choose. Plus there is a link to show camping vacancies and allows you to make reservations.
