If the sequel goes north instead of south, the Canadian landscape boasts a bevy of open countryside and chilly mountaintops to navigate. The Banff National Park could work as a stunning setting all on its own thanks to the glacial lakes containing some of the bluest water on the entire planet, casting reflections of the endless woods and hilltops that stretch out into the distance.
