Lazy? I agree.
I mean - you aren't even familiar with the TransCanada. Did you even Google it?
Which way were you planning of riding? - Eastbound, westbound?
How much touring experience do you have?
Solo, with others, supported, motels, camping?

You know, there are people were lots of experience here.
I am certainly not going to say what other should or should not do -
But I am loathe to spend time and effort far in excess of what you have put in.

What good is it comparing the advantages of the Crowsnest over the Yellowhead -
if you haven't a clue about either?
I have spent many hours happily offering advice and personal experience to others.
But I feel that there needs to be some reciprocity.
