What are the general thoughts of taking the Yellowhead Highway through the prairies? We drove that one years ago and it seemed far less flat and dull than the TransCanada Highway.
IMO the Yellowhead would be a better choice than the TransCanada through the prairies.
Have a look at the route I describe through the prairies in Post 7 ... I don't specifically say it, but that route sort of follows the Yellowhead (Hwy 16).
Just be aware that few highways in Manitoba, Yellowhead included, have paved shoulders.
