Don’t tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?

      Hoping to head out to BC and maybe Alberta last, depending on the amount of time I have. I’ll be driving, I live in Montana so I’m close.

        Aha, “just south of me”, I say from a thousand miles away.

        If you’re a mountains person, yeah BC is the place to be. But it’s also same-same as what you can see in a lot of places in the US in the mountains. Like, you won’t tell the difference between much of BC and much of Washington.

        If you’ve got the time, go straight north from your location. Way way north. Go to Yellowknife, and do it in March – it’s about three days driving. You’ll get there and they’ll have northern lights galore, ice castles on the lake, people driving their trucks on the ice to their houseboats that have just frozen into the ice for the season…

        Or go in summer and go fishing there. The lake is 600m (1900ft) deep… Trout like tuna.
