One word - BREATHTAKING. Definitely lived up to it's billing on a sunny day. You literally spend the first half of the drive along the water and the second climbing up to the sky. Nearly expanded road only takes 90 minutes from downtown Vancouver to Whistler without stops. Double that with stops at the scenic lookouts and two waterfalls en... more

If you are staying in Vancouver for several days, use one of them to drive the Sea to Sky Highway north to Whistler. The scenic views of bodies of water and snow capped mountains are absolutely gorgeous. Stop for breaks at Porteau Cove, where recreational divers explore shipwrecks, and Shannon Falls, where you can take a short hike to a... more
