Wenn irgendetwas seinem vorhergehenden Hype standhalten kann, dann auf jeden Fall die Natur und Landschaften des zweitgr\u00f6\u00dften Landes der Welt. Ich bin jetzt tats\u00e4chlich der Meinung, dass jedem, dem es m\u00f6glich ist, einmal im Leben eine Autoreise durch Kanada machen sollte - ganz besonders im Herbst. Hier findest du meine 10 Tipps f\u00fcr einen unvergesslichen Roadtrip durch Kanada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/scenic-drive-canada.jpg\" alt=\"View out of the window at a scenic drive in Canada\" class=\"wp-image-1041 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/scenic-drive-canada.jpg 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/scenic-drive-canada-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/scenic-drive-canada-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Szenische (Land)Stra\u00dfen &gt; Autobahnen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Autobahn ist nat\u00fcrlich die schnellste Alternative, aber die wirkliche Magie eines Kanada Roadtrips spielt sich auf den Landstra\u00dfen ab. Ich kann wirklich nicht genug betonen, wie extrem anders die Erfahrung ist, ob man Landstra\u00dfe oder Autobahn f\u00e4hrt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Als ich die Distanzen und Zeiten per Google Maps plante, habe ich leider \u00fcberhaupt nicht darauf geachtet, wo die Route lang f\u00fchrt und nat\u00fcrlich nimmt Google in der Regel die schnellste Route \u00fcber die Autobahn. Das ist zwar schnell, aber nicht besonders sch\u00f6n. Die Landstra\u00dfen sind zwar um einiges langsamer was das Tempolimit betrifft, aber auf jeden Fall ist diese Zeit es sowas von wert. Ich kann nur die Gasp\u00e9sie Tour empfehlen, sowie die Route du Fleuve (auch genannt die zweitsch\u00f6nste Route in ganz Kanada!) sowie die Tour entlang des St Lawrence Flusses. Jetzt wo ich einmal da war kann ich sagen, dass ein Roadtrip auf diesen szenischen, langsamen Stra\u00dfen wirklich so viel mehr Spa\u00df macht!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1241\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/roadtrip-canada-mountains-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1051 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/roadtrip-canada-mountains-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/roadtrip-canada-mountains-1-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/roadtrip-canada-mountains-1-743x1024.jpg 743w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/roadtrip-canada-mountains-1-768x1059.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/1241;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-foliage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1052 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-foliage.jpg 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-foliage-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-foliage-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Wetter: Erwarte das Unerwartete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Selbst wenn ihr im Sommer in Kanada seid w\u00fcrde ich empfehlen, auf jeden Fall f\u00fcr alle vier Jahreszeiten zu packen. Das kanadische Wetter gleicht einer Pralinenpackung, wo man nie so recht wei\u00df, was man so als n\u00e4chstes bekommt. In der einen Minute scheint die Sonne und in der n\u00e4chsten schneit es oder dichter Nebel zieht auf. Seid auf jeden Fall vorbereitet! Ich fand  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/environment-climate-change\/services\/weather-general-tools-resources\/weathercan.html\" target=\"_self\">die kanadische Wetterapp WeatherCAN<\/a> um einiges akkurater als die generischen Apps. Ich hatte diverse Schichten Kleidung dabei, um mich dem immer ver\u00e4nderndem Wetter anpassen zu k\u00f6nnen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.street-one.de\/c\/damen\/10330693\/\" target=\"_self\">Lass dich von diesen Outdoor Styles<\/a> inspirieren und greif auf den guten deutschen Zwiebel-Look zur\u00fcck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wir hatten echt totales Gl\u00fcck mit dem Wetter in den ersten zwei Oktoberwochen und hatten gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils wirklich sch\u00f6nes, sehr sonniges Wetter. Trotzdem blieb uns ein sehr pl\u00f6tzlicher Sturm und ein extem nebliger Morgen nicht erspart. Gerade der Nebel erschwert, was man an einem Tag so schaffen kann daher w\u00fcrde ich empfehlen, nie zu knapp zu planen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1134\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-nissan-rogue-1.png\" alt=\"Our rental car, a medium SUV Nissan Rogue\" class=\"wp-image-1048 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-nissan-rogue-1.png 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-nissan-rogue-1-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-nissan-rogue-1-813x1024.png 813w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-nissan-rogue-1-768x968.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/1134;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Aufpassen bei der Autowahl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Besonders im Winter ist es wichtig, das richtige Auto zu w\u00e4hlen, denn die Konditionen sind hier wirklich weniger als ideal, wenn die Stra\u00dfen vereist oder voll mit Schnee sind (oder, im schlimmsten Fall, beides). Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen sind Winterrreifen und ein mittlerer SUV mit Allradantrieb, besonders wenn ihr wie wir in den Bergen unterwegs sein wollt.<a href=\"https:\/\/mietwagen.check24.de\/\" target=\"_self\">Wir hatten einen Nissan Rogue via Check24 gemietet<\/a> wo wir den besten Deal gefunden hatten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selbst als wir nur 1-2 Stunden au\u00dferhalb Quebecs unterwegs waren waren die Stra\u00dfen ehrlich gesagt ganz sch\u00f6n extrem (f\u00fcr jemand die das \u00fcberhaupt nicht gewohnt ist aus dem flachen Osten Deutschlands). Wir waren auf jeden Fall froh, ein gr\u00f6\u00dferes Auto gew\u00e4hlt zu haben, in dem wir uns sehr sicher gef\u00fchlt haben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Poutine Pit Stops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selbst wenn ihr es drauf anlegen w\u00fcrdet: In Quebec gibt es kein vorbeikommen an der Poutine, dem Nationalgericht dieser doch sehr besonderen Provinz. Man kann es aber auch umdrehen: Macht es euch zur Aufgabe, an jedem gr\u00f6\u00dferen Stopp eine lokale Poutine zu kosten. Sie schmeckt wirklich \u00fcberall ein wenig anders, aber niemals nicht gut. Die, die ich pers\u00f6nlich am Besten fand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korrigane.ca\/en\/\">war die vegane Poutine von Le Korrigane in Quebec Stadt.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Wilde Tiere: Nicht nur auf den Poskarten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-road-trio-wildlife-801x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Curious deer peeking into our car window\" class=\"wp-image-1044 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-road-trio-wildlife-801x1024.jpg 801w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-road-trio-wildlife-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-road-trio-wildlife-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-road-trio-wildlife.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 801px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 801\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wenn ihr unterwegs seid, achtet immer auf wilde Tiere, die sich besonders in den weit verbreiteten l\u00e4ndlichen Gegenden rumtreiben. Sie sind auch einer der Gr\u00fcnde, weshalb das Tempolimit so arg niedrig ist in Kanada (zumindest verglichen mit deutschen Stra\u00dfen). Elche, B\u00e4ren und Bieber findet man hier nicht nur als Motiv in den Souvenirshops! Nicht alle haben Bock auf Selfies, haltet daher lieber Abstand und eure Fenster (halb) geschlossen. Ich w\u00fcrde es zudem vermeiden, durch die Nacht und im Morgengrauen zu fahren, da die meisten Wildtiere hier besonders aktiv sind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-wildlife-bison.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1045 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-wildlife-bison.jpg 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-wildlife-bison-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-wildlife-bison-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Bereitet euch auf die Distanzen vor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eine Sache, die man wirklich nicht oft genug sagen kann: Kanada ist wirklich GIGANTISCH gro\u00df. In l\u00e4ndlichen Gegenden kommt es schonmal vor, dass man stundenlang nicht einmal eine Tankstelle sieht. Tankt daher immer, bevor ihr einen gr\u00f6\u00dferen Weg antreten und defintiiv immer, sobald euer Tank nur noch knapp halbvoll ist. Sollte es euch wirklich weit nach drau\u00dfen ziehen, nehmt am Besten 1-2 Kanister Benzin im Auto mit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ich fand es wirklich schwer die Entfernungen in Kanada richtig einzusch\u00e4tzen, da ich einfach nicht an diese riesigen Landmassen ohne St\u00e4dte dazwischen gewohnt war. Man kann echt stundenlang fahren, ohne ein Anzeichen von Zivilisation zu finden. Wir hatten daher immer ausreichend Essen und Wasser dabei, sollte es zu einem Notfall kommen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Macht euch die Attraktionen am Stra\u00dfenrand zu Nutze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kanada hat wirklich fantastische Attraktionen am Stra\u00dfenrand - das klingt f\u00fcr uns erstmal seltsam, aber viele Dinge sind darauf ausgelegt, dass man kurz anh\u00e4lt und dann weiterf\u00e4hrt. So gibt es zum Beispiel die weltweit gr\u00f6\u00dfte Axt am Stra\u00dfenrand von Nackawic! Im Herbst findet man nat\u00fcrlich super viele Farmen, die K\u00fcrbisse und andere saisonale Dinge verkaufen. Stoppt auf jeden Fall und deckt euch mit hausgemachten Snacks ein - wir haben hiervon oft Gebrauch gemacht und alles war immer super gut! Zudem kann man viele kostenfreie Dinge finden, wie Traktorfahrten f\u00fcr Kinder oder Maisfelder zum Durchwandern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Bleibt flexibel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ich liebe es, einen Plan und alle Dinge auf Google Maps mit passendem Icon gespeichert zu haben -aber ich empfehle wirklich, hier ein bisschen Spielraum zu erhalten. Wenn man alles bis auf die Minute genau plant nimmt man sich die Spontanit\u00e4t, eine Stunde an dem einen Ort zu bleiben, der einem so gut gefallen hat. Der gro\u00dfe Vorteil von Roadtrips ist ja tats\u00e4chlich, dass man sehr flexibel den Tag und die Reise gestalten kann. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tats\u00e4chlich haben wir einmal unseren Plan ge\u00e4ndert, nachdem uns eine Frau extrem begeistert von einer Stra\u00dfe in den Bergen erz\u00e4hlte, die eh auf dem Weg zu unserer Unterkunft lag. Der Weg dauerte l\u00e4nger, aber es war eine der sch\u00f6nsten Wege, die wir in 2 Wochen Kanada gefahren sind - daf\u00fcr waren wir ihr extrem dankbar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-st-baie-paul.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1046 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-st-baie-paul.jpg 900w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-st-baie-paul-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colorcrrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/canada-roadtrip-st-baie-paul-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Offline Karten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vertraut nicht blind auf euer Smartphone oder Navi - beides kann falsch sein, kaputt gehen, nicht gen\u00fcgend Akku oder eine Verbindung haben.. Je nachdem wie weit es euch raus verschl\u00e4gt, empfehle ich dringend offline Karten oder auch ganz altmodisch eine physische Karte mitzunehmen. In einem der Nationalparks in die wir fuhren, hatten wir gar keinen Empfang, sobald wir drin waren. Zudem h\u00f6rte unsere Stra\u00dfe auf einmal auf und wir fuhren nur noch auf Kies - was dank unserer Autowahl zum Gl\u00fcck kein gro\u00dfes Problem war. Ladet daher die Abschnitte, die ihr ben\u00f6tigt, vorher offline herunter und habt die wichtigsten Infos auf mehr als einem Ger\u00e4t, falls das Handy stirbt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ich habe alle gro\u00dfen Stopps vorher in unserem Navi gespeichert, die Karten offline heruntergeladen und die wichtigsten Infos auf zwei Handys verteilt, damit wir immer einen Plan haben, wohin wir als n\u00e4chstes gehen m\u00fcssen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Hinterlasst keine Spuren (au\u00dfer in euren Erinnerungen)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zuguterletzt denkt immer daran, verantwortungsbewusst zu handeln. Wir sind G\u00e4ste in anderen L\u00e4ndern und sollten uns dementsprechend auch verhalten. Kanada besticht mit extrem sch\u00f6ner Natur und das soll m\u00f6glichst lange auch so bleiben. Hinterlasst daher nichts, au\u00dfer euren Fu\u00dfspuren im Sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Und das war es auch schon! Mein (hoffentlich) narrensicherer Guide um die kanadischen Stra\u00dfen zu erobern. Ich w\u00fcnsche euch Ahornsirup-s\u00fc\u00dfe Erinnerungen und falls ihr doch mal verloren gehen solltet - folgt einfach den Schildern zum n\u00e4chsten Tim Hortons. Die f\u00fchren euch sicher wieder zur\u00fcck! Gute Reise! \ud83c\udf41\ud83d\ude97<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got back from our very first roadtrip through Canada and can I just say &#8230;wow?? If anything lived up to its hype, it&#8217;s definitely the nature and landscape you witness while roadtripping through the second largest country of the world. I am now a firm believer of the statement that everyone should do a roadtrip through Canada at least once in their life, especially during autumn! Here are my 10 Tips for an Epic Canadian Road Trip Through Canada! 1. Scenic Routes &gt; Highways Sure, highways are fast, but the real magic happens on the scenic routes. I cannot stress enough how much you are missing out on by limiting yourself to the highways. Unfortunately, when I checked the times and distances on Google Maps when planning I completely forgot to adjust the times for the scenic routes. They are much slower (often double the time) but SO worth it. The Gasp\u00e9sie Tour, Route du Fleuve (the second most beautiful route in all of Canada) or the route along the St. Lawrence River will knock your socks off with views that&#8217;ll live rentfree in your head from here on. In my opinion, it makes little sense to do a roadtrip through Canada taking only the highway, so make sure to plan enough time and check which routes are along the way. 2. Weather: Expect the Unexpected Pack for all four seasons, even if you&#8217;re going in summer. Canadian weather is like a box of chocolates \u2013 you never know what you&#8217;re gonna get. One minute you&#8217;re sunbathing, the next you&#8217;re building a snowman. Be prepared! I found the Canadian weather app WeatherCAN quite a lot more accurate than the generic weather apps. I also had a variety of different layers with me to adapt to the everchanging weather. Check out these Outdoor Styles to get inspired and rock the good old &#8220;onion layer style&#8221; that we Germans are so famous for. One day I was wearing a dress, the next day I needed three layers and a scarf. We were very lucky with the weather in the first two weeks of October by mostly sunny, warm days. A sudden thunderstorm as well as soupy thick fog one morning was also part of the play and will definitely affect how much and far you can drive in a day. 3. Choose the Right Car Be sure to be especially prepared for the winter roads in Canada that are notoriously hard on cars if you aren\u2019t properly prepared. Make sure to equip winter tires and drive an SUV with AWD, especially if you&#8217;re heading towards the mountains. We rented a Nissan Rogue via Check24 where we found the best deal and had the best time. Even just 1-2hrs outside of Quebec on the big roads the inclines were, frankly, a bit insane. We were so happy to have a car where we felt safe and comfortable. Given the heavy snowfall that virtually the whole country receives in winter, the roads are heavily salted to keep them navigable, so keep an eye out for rust and your tires. 4. Poutine Pit Stops Even if you wanted, you will not be successful to avoid the holy grail of Canadian cuisine: poutine. Make it your mission to try a different poutine at every stop. We were surprised to also find many vegan versions! Every version tasted different, but never not great. My favorite one that we had was the vegan poutine from Le Korrigane in Quebec City. 5. Wildlife Spotting: Not Just For Postcards While on the road, keep your eyes peeled for Canada&#8217;s furry and feathered residents. It&#8217;s also the reason why speed limits are notoriously low (at least from a German perspective) Moose, bears, and beavers aren&#8217;t just for souvenir shops! But remember, they&#8217;re not exactly keen on selfies, so admire from a safe distance. If you can, avoid to drive through the night and early dawn on rural roads, as this is when nightlife is most active. 6. Plan for Distance Let&#8217;s get one thing straight: Canda is MASSIVE. In remote areas, gas stations can be as rare as a unicorn sighting almost. I would recommend to always fill up whenever your tank reaches the 1\/2 mark at the latest. If you go really rural, keep a jerry can (or two) in the trunk. Running out of gas in moose country isn&#8217;t exactly a party. I found it very hard to accurately judge distances when you&#8217;re not used to such vast spaces with no cities inbetween. In fact, you can drive for many hours and barely see any signs of civilization for some stretches. For that reason, you\u2019ll want to pack food and water to keep yourself satiated and hydrated in case of an emergency. 7. Embrace the Quirky Roadside Attractions Canada is full of wonderfully weird roadside stops. The giant nickel in Sudbury, the world&#8217;s largest axe in Nackawic \u2013 these kitschy attractions are what road trip memories are made of. In autumn, you will likely pass by numerous farms that sell pumpkins and other seasonal produce. Make sure to stop and endulge in their homemade soups and snacks! We did this a lot and the food was always incredible. There are also often free things to do such as tractor rides or corn mazes. 8. Stay flexible It&#8217;s great to have a plan and a detailed Google Maps with lots of saved spots but leave some wiggle room for spontaneous stops. If you plan everything down to a minute, you might lose out to have that extra hour to stop at a viewpoint you had no idea existed or that cute town that you saw on the drive. After all, a big advantage of an independent road trip is the freedom to do what you want \u2013 stay longer in a place you like or take a side trip when a local tells you about a cool place that you hadn\u2019t heard of before.
