Traversing the US and Canada: A Cryptic Journey
$begingroup$
Each answer is a place, landmark or attraction in the United States or Canada. The answers traverse all Canadian provinces, Canadian territories, U.S. states and the District of Columbia. This is done by crossing land borders where possible, although in a couple of cases crossing the sea is necessary as there are no land connections.
Each clue is missing a state/province name from another clue. (Not the answer to that clue, just the name of the administrative division.)
Note that some long names have been shortened. For example, if the full place name is "Xyz Royal National Park", the answer will be just "Xyz" (often with "royal national park" or similar as the definition).
