I've never needed anything more than that when travelling the other direction, but if you're concerned, just get a passport/visa. Cheers, Arne

Doug- I assume since you'll be riding a KLR that you won't even be close to an official border crossing. I used to vacation with my parents up in Canada when I was younger I honestly don't think we ever went through one... I know for sure that if you are cruising up through the Washington State area, you've got fireroads into Canada that will put a huge grin on your face. Check out a topo of the crossing area and there should be plenty of crossings. As far as I know, they're not going to care as long as you aren't carrying anything illegal should they stop you. Besides, it is the 52 state, isn't it? Long live AahmehricKa! Zack Arne Larsen wrote:

I've seen people turned away at the Canadian border who didn't have proof of identity( drivers license with picture or/ passport). That's all you need, drivers license /official ID or passport. 1 extra picture ID/credit card wouldn't hurt. If you look like a complete bum ( no offense intended) they may want to see proof that you can financially support yourself (harder to do on some bikes than KLRs) . I'd guess you would be looked at much closer , going from Canada to USA. US customs/local police may be a little suspicious if they see a KLR cross the border without stopping while riding the dirt. Especially a Olive drab Y2k with stuffed duffel bags. Would be a lot funner to avoid the official crossings though.
