One of my favourite towns is Kenora Ontario. Because after three days of rocks and trees driving through Northern Ontario the forest falls away and the Prairies open up in front of you. Kenora has rivers and a lake and is a great spot.
Manitoba and Saskatchewan are dull if you stick to the TransCanada. The lower 15% are bald prairie but they are both better up North. It’s very flat until you get to around Swift Current SK.
Medicine Hat in Alberta is where the badlands really start to open up. Take the loop up to Drumheller if you want to see Hoodoos and dinosaurs.
I love the drive from Calgary into the mountains. Remember - you are never in a hurry in the mountains. Things change rapidly and there is little to no shoulder or room for emergency maneuvers. Take your time. The ice highway connecting Banff and Jasper is great. I love Yoho. The town of Field is good for a stop.
I’ll let someone else do the BC interior to Vancity.

I actually think Saskatchewan is really beautiful, if you find the right spots. Theres lots of lakes, and lots of salt deposits, which can make for an interesting scene. If you find a nice lake to camp by you’ll be able to see quite a lot of wildlife, in my experience. Beavers, loons, maybe hear some wolves howling, etc. Plus the sunset/sunrise in the prairies is really beautiful. The sky looks so big when it’s not obscured by mountains
It absolutely is gorgeous - but rolling along the Highway 1 doesn’t show you the best of it. But I’ll take the number 2 from Findlater to P.A. instead of taking the 11 through Saskatoon. The old roads have a soul and the Number 1 doesn’t.

And at the right time of the year.
Yep, basically any time of year other than early spring when it’s just brown as far as the eye can see
