Visiting the US-Canada 3rd busiest border

Many people knew about US-Canada border by just hearing about Niagara falls. I haven’t been sable to go there during my last trip. However, US-Canada border is renown to be the world’s longest international border, with 8,891 kilometers (5,525 mi) long. I have been to another part instead, the westernmost point of the Canada–United States border where Washington and Vancouver connects each other. I was there from US side.

It was a nice trip we went to Blaine, a small town next to the border where you can see Peace Arch History Landmark. With Covid-19 restriction, I couldn’t walk to see the monument closely but it was satisfied to at least see how it looks like. My friends told me you can actually walk up to the monument. No restriction at all if no Covid-19.

  • It took about 3hours drive from Seattle to get here.
  • Winter is not a good time to come here. It was unbearably cold that I couldn’t feel my ears anymore! On side note, I was comfortable on snowy mountain with snow everywhere.
  • Spring is ideal, many flowers around the monument are blooming to give beauty and colour to it.
  • It is the third busiest United States / Canadian border crossing for passenger auto traffic (2nd: The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, 1st: Ambassador Bridge)

Hey @Sophia_Cambodia , Good to know about your travel to Canada. Reminds me of my travel to British Columbia, Vancouver.

Even I could not visit Nigara falls/ Canada-US border as all my flights were running late and I reached Canada a day after my expected arrival date. My visa was for two years and unfortunately COVID made it impossible to visit again.

Beautiful pictures and I can feel the pleasant whether in your photos.

Keep travelling :heart:

Well, there is always next time @AbdullahAM you go for it, now they start welcoming visitors (fully vaccinated) you can try again and it is even easier if you have valid US visa.
