We had just driven up the Pacific coast hwy from LA to San Francisco and thought those views could not be surpassed. That was until we drove up to Whistler on the Sea to Sky highway. Words cannot describe the beauty of this drive where the fabulous snow covered mountains meet the pacific ocean and Whistler is fantastic. More

On a sunny day, nothing beats this stretch of paradise. The view of the ocean and the snow capped mountains defines Vancouver and BC. The road is great after fixing it for the Olympics. Don't speed though! Continue to Whistler and have a fantastic day! More
