Most weak Canada trips fail at the planning stage, not because the destinations are disappointing.
Trying to cross the country too quickly
A coast-to-coast map hides airport time, road fatigue and time zones.
Treating all summer conditions as stable
Wildfire, smoke, storms and high demand still require alternatives.
Using one weather forecast
Canada's regions can have completely different conditions on the same day.
Skipping reservations
High-demand parks, ferries and remote accommodations may have no practical last-minute substitute.
Trusting old lists
Hours, routes, prices and entry rules must be checked live.
