I took most of these in mid-december so we have an additional two feet of snow right now.

Pfft. The east is only useful during the autumn when the maple trees turn red.

The real scenery can be found in the west! Much of Southern Alberta is badlands - very hot, very dry. A lot of sandstone and sedimentary rock. Tons of interesting formations from glacial erosion during the last ice age, if you are geologically inclined.

Northern Saskatchewan has some of the most beautiful pine forests in Canada.

Western Alberta and BC has the elusive temperate rainforests, as well as the Rocky Mountains. And it's Canada, so you can actually catch a glimpse of the glaciers. Banff and Jasper are already popular tourist spots for hiking, camping and skiing, so you can find some of the best tourist accomodations in Canada here.

Edmonton is a pretty technologically advanced city by any standards. It includes the world's largest shopping complex and the entire downtown area is connected through an elaborate labyrinth of underground passages. The entire city is built on a hill going down into a river. Oh yeah, and most of our buildings are quite large, glass, and house tropical plants. Rather an interesting sight for a northern city.

I'm sure there's more, but I'm tired. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

The upper half of Michigan is better during the winter; Michigan was once *filled* with white pines or whatever, and they haven't been touched in the upper half of the state. Luckily, we also have snowmobile trails up there.

I ask you: what could be better than to be exposed to such awesome scenery at 60 mph? Nothing. It's absolutely breathtaking.

I've been to the interior (via Lake Louise through the parks there (Bannf, Yoho, Kootenay)), seen the hot springs in January, and I've hitch-hiked from Vancouver across to Nanaimo, then up the island to Port Hardy (at the top of the island) then took the ferry to Prince Rupert accross from the Queen Charolettes in the summer.

I've seen the badlands of Alberta and looked down on Calgary from Nose Hill Park. Been to Edmonton by bus and got the tour from my uncle (his father has a park named after him, Morie Park (he sold fresh vegies there every day for enough years that when he died they named the park after him)).

Ontario is the most beautiful province (I haven't been to the maritimes yet though).

The advantage is is that you can 'borrow' movies for long amounts of time without him remembering that you borrowed them.

The disadvantage is the pizza cheese grime on the DVDs

Being exposed to such awesome scenery at a leisurely 3 mph... no noise pollution, ability to relax/take photos... a little more peaceful.
