You should inform her that its not desolate...its populated...there are
about 20,000 grizzley bears in BC.

US ATC will hand you off to Canadian ATC. The only difference seems to
be
that they say "radar identified" instead of "radar contact". You should
file an ICAO flight plan instead of an FAA one. Flight Service will
help
you with this one.. AOPA has a booklet about flying to Canada. You
have
to
enter at an approved airport both entering Canada and re-entering the
US.
Be sure you understand and comply with the customs requirements in both
directions! These Airports of Entry are listed in the AOPA guide.

I am making a similiar flight on Friday from Sandpoint, ID to
Ketchikan,
AK.

Have Fun!


Let us know how that one goes. If things work out as
hoped/planned/fantasized, the family will make a journey from COS to COE
(fuel stop...on our line of travel) to JNU next summer. You'll be covering
roughly the same route as we will and my wife is "wondering" about
crossing
all that desolate territory in BC.
