How about a trip to Canada Southern Plains
A Brief Summary
This is the region of Canada that most closely resembles the US Mid West… and is essentially the same geographical terrain, only a few hundred miles further north. Endless rolling fields and mammoth expanses of flat farmland dominate this environment. From the vast lakes of Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg, all the way across southern Canada to the Rockies and the city of Calgary (cowboy country) and Edmonton (oil country), travelling here is a mix of very, very easy, with excellent roads and superb rail links, but also exceptionally challenging with the distances being nothing short of mindboggling to Europeans!
If you’re after the Mid-west experience, but happen to find yourself north of the 49th parallel… this is where to be!

About the Weather
A stark contrast from winters to summers are found here across the vast plains of southern Canada, often more starkly than almost anywhere else on earth. Winters are, like the rest of central Canada, very cold, long and snowy. They are however relatively sunny. Summers are warm, humid and sunny, sometimes with very hot weather stagnating across the region for days at a time, with temperatures approaching 45°c at their peak. Heavy showers are common during summer months. Spring and Autumn are transitional seasons between the 2 marked contrasts of winter and summer, with spring sunnier but cooler than autumn.
