Blue Highway ib Canada ...

[bmwlarry]

My wife was talking to another rider and she said we should take on the Blue Highway across Canada. Where is it and has anyone ridden it?

I'm Canadian (obviously) and that is a new one for me and I've driven across several times. Never heard of the Blue Highway so I'd like to know too.
As far as I know the only highway that actually goes right across is the Trans Canada. There are others that branch here and there so you can go part way on others like the Yellow Head (16) and come back to the Trans Canada.
Maybe some clarification could help.

Highway 21 running along the eastern shore of lake Huron is referred to as the Blue Water Highway. Nice part of the round lake Huron tour. But is only a small part of Canada.

Sounds like a country song ... But haven't seen or heard of this well kept Canadian secret in my 55 years in this little country of ours

As much as I can because on my maps blue highways are freeways. Several years ago I read a book with the title. Traveling the Blue Highways...and that's all I know

One of his best ever recordings. On the "Tennessee Moon" CD. I listen to it in the garage frequently before a ryde in the Smokey Mtns. "Gonna take that blue highway and ease on out of town..."

Happy New Year!

It all depends on the map you buy: some of the highways are blue, some red, some green. just go to the red highway and turn down. Ha! Pardon the febile attempt at humor, have fun and be safe!
