We woke up to a clear day as we headed out to the airport to pick up our rental car, a Chrylser Sebring followed by Butch in Calgary. We planned to drive in shifts along the TCH. We figured a 4 hours drive back and forth with stops along the way.
People across Canada (less so in Ontario and Quebec) generally refer to the highway as "The Trans-Canada Highway" ("Trans-Canada", "T-Can", or "TCH") rather than by its number(s)". In Calgary, it is 16th avenue N, or "Sixteenth". The Trans-Canada Highway is a federal-provincial highway system that joins all ten provinces of Canada and is, after the Trans-Siberian Highway (in Russia, where else?) and Highway 1 (Australia), the world's third longest national highway with a distance of 10,781 km.
