The US borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed to nonessential travel through at least October due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to Travel+Leisure, the shared land borders have been closed since March 18, with Americans traveling to Alaska allowed to travel through Canada provided they display a “hang-tag” during their trip and pass through certain designated border crossings.
