With the economy in a slump and gas prices skyrocketing, we know many of you will be staying close to home this summer. But for those of you who still want to fit in some international travel without paying exorbitant airline fares, you can always visit our bordering countries the old-fashioned way. By foot! This website will help you plan your trip by monitoring pedestrian wait times at the border crossings. This website provides a table with estimated wait times for reaching the primary inspection booth, the first point of contact with CBP (Customs Border Protection), when crossing the Canada/U.S. and Mexico/U.S. land borders. Happy walking!
