The mountains are perhaps not quite as tall, and the passes are perhaps not quite as deep, but the scenery is there.

You would perhaps find it a little unsettling being in a country that you could cross from side to side in a single day though.

I'd find it unsettling being in a *province* you could drive across in a single day, hence why I haven't gone to the Maritimes yet.

Well, technically you can cross any of the Western provinces in one day, but you can't do much else except drive.
