Default Touring North of the US Border in 2017

If your an American and thinking of touring in Canada ..... 2017 would be a good year. All National Parks will have free admission (it's our 150th anniversary since Confederation) and the Canadian Dollar is expected to go below 70 cents.

Just remember, eh, beer and cigarettes are expensive, as is Vancouver and Toronto, eh.

Make sure you have a passport. And for God sake, leave you hand guns at home. Lol. They will arrest you at the border, take your gun and motorcycle away, and want about $5,000 to get the bike back. NO amount of money gets your gun back.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking at touring up to the north and that would make it so much better. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just read that they are predicting a $0.65 Cdn dollar vs the greenback for 2017. Guess I'll won't be travelling as much

I am seriously considering running across Canada to Newfoundland and coming back via Sturgis.

Should be a good year for it.

Got a US National Park Pass on our cross-country trip last September, so it's still good until next September. With passes for Canada AND the US, we're planning a national park tour for our family vacation next summer, hitting as many as we can in the west, spending some time in Yellowstone, all that.
