Things to do on an Elkhart to Calgary Roadtrip

Your journey begins in Elkhart, the heart of America’s RV manufacturing industry. Many of the world’s most recognisable RV brands are built here, which means relocation drivers sometimes get the chance to take the very first miles in a brand-new motorhome.

Before hitting the road, spend a little time exploring:

• The RV/MH Hall of Fame to learn how the RV industry started

• The Elkhart Riverwalk for a peaceful pre-trip stroll

• Local Amish bakeries and markets for road-trip snacks

Then it’s time to turn the key and begin your cross-border adventure.

Just a couple hours from Elkhart, Chicago is a fantastic first stop.

Park the RV and explore the city:

• Walk the Chicago Riverwalk

• Take photos at Millennium Park with the famous “Bean”

• Visit the Art Institute of Chicago

• Try deep-dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s or Giordano’s

Chicago gives you a perfect mix of big-city culture before the road trip heads north.

Nicknamed the “Waterpark Capital of the World,” Wisconsin Dells is a fun detour whether you’re traveling with kids or just want some nostalgia.

Things to try:

• Boat tours through the sandstone cliffs of the Wisconsin River

• Indoor and outdoor waterparks

• Scenic hikes in Mirror Lake State Park

RV parks here are plentiful and road-trip friendly.

The Twin Cities are an underrated Midwest destination.

Highlights include:

• Biking around the Chain of Lakes

• Exploring the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

• Visiting the massive Mall of America

• Catching live music in one of the city’s many venues

The food scene here is also surprisingly good, with plenty of breweries and local eateries.

Before crossing into Canada, head north to Duluth, perched on the edge of Lake Superior.

This stop adds a scenic twist to the journey.

Must-dos:

• Walk the Lakewalk along the shore

• Watch ships pass under the Aerial Lift Bridge

• Drive the beginning of the North Shore Scenic Byway

It’s a beautiful gateway to the wild landscapes ahead.

After crossing the border into Canada, your first major stop is Winnipeg.

Despite being overlooked by many travellers, the city has plenty to offer:

• The stunning Canadian Museum for Human Rights

• The historic Forks Market

• River trails and waterfront parks

This is also a great place to restock groceries before heading west.

The vast Canadian prairies are part of the adventure.

Consider stopping in:

• Regina, home to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre

• Moose Jaw, famous for its quirky tunnels and historic charm

The wide-open skies here make for unforgettable sunsets.

Your road trip ends in Calgary, the gateway to the Canadian Rockies.

Celebrate the journey with:

• A visit to the Calgary Tower

• Exploring the East Village riverfront

• Day trips to Banff National Park or Lake Louise

Few road trips end with scenery this spectacular. /

From the Midwest’s great cities to the endless prairies and finally the dramatic peaks of the Canadian Rockies, the Elkhart to Calgary RV relocation route is packed with adventure.

With up to 15 nights to explore, unlimited miles, and gas reimbursement, it’s one of the most affordable ways to experience a huge slice of North America.
