IFR in the Eastern Mountains

After Milwaukee it was great circle to Dawson Creek. I found it somewhat
aggravating to try to plot the course enough to even find out what charts to buy. One
cannot simply "draw a straight line" on a big chart. I ended up using a "great circle
mapper" online to get some airports and lat/longs to determine which charts to go
with.
Fun trip... thinking about doing it again this upcoming summer with my
brother.

I use Delorme's XMAP, which will correctly plot the great circle. I
don't have Canadian topo data, though (although it does show Dawson
Creek sufficiently to anchor the great circle). I am curious about how
that great circle avoids the Canadian Rockies.
