Most of the forest that burnt had been dead for years as a result of the Pine Beatle. People from Jasper knew it was a mater of time before the big one came. They did a good job saving most of the town. I’ve saw at least 3 major fires around Jasper in my lifetime but the first that hit the town. I Just hope I live along enough to see the beauty of the new growth. 👍

I'm a Canadian who has RV'd across the entire country, from the very tip of Newfoundland to the very edge of British Columbia. Over the past two years I have been to every province. I have not RV'd in the US, but have driven across the US. I don't really feel comfortable as a non-citizen of the United States taking my rig over the border. My impression after having watched many RV youtubers is that RVing in the US is better because major cities are MUCH closer together, gas is cheaper, the population higher and more evenly distributed, and the climate is generally warmer. My experience has also been that American's generally are friendlier and more outgoing then Canadians. That being said, Canada is an amazing country with beautiful landscapes. Canada feels safer to me (although in some places I don't think it is), and with less provinces then there are American states, there is less variability in laws, which makes traversing the country by RV less risky. I will say that most American RV youtubers drive through Canada to Alaska (usually entering in Alberta or BC), see a tiny sliver of our country, and make judgements of the country based on very limited information and experience. There are vast differences between RVing in Newfoundland as compared to Banff/Jasper area or BC. Each province has it's own vibe when it comes to RVing, there is a lot of variability in the quality of boondocking and paid facilities available in each province. For example, Ontario is largely ruled by provincial parks, but Quebec is dominated by lots of smaller privately owned campgrounds. Newfoundland has TONS of amazing boondocking and just amazing scenery. BC has a great mix of provincial parks and national parks; however, the facilities at BC provincial parks tend not to be as good as they are in other provinces. It really depends on what you are wanting out of your RV adventure.
