Portrait of travel writer James Carter

James Carter is a Calgary-based road trip writer and the outdoors voice at Canada Visitor Hub.

He has driven more than 40,000 km across Canada, from the Cabot Trail to the Alaska Highway, and he writes the road trip guides he wishes he’d had on his first cross-country drive: national parks, scenic drives, small towns, where to stop, and which viewpoints are worth the detour.

What James covers: national park guides, scenic drives and road trip itineraries, and practical outdoors advice — park passes, seasonal road closures, and where the gas stations aren’t.
