From my place in Bruderheim AB to Victoria BC and back. 3,147 kms(1,967 miles) in 7 days. Not a crazy amount of driving per day ~500km/day but should be fun none the less. I’ve never been further west than Kelowna so there will be lots of new stuff to see.

Taking the Acadian Family Truckster for the journey. Leaving Tomorrow and back next Sunday.

Whistler and Victoria are spectacularly beuatiful. Are you taking the northern loop first?

No the opposite. The southern part first. Whistler is the highlight for me. I’ve never been and I’ve been wanting to go for over 15 years.

Route 99 up to Whistler is amazing. Hope you enjoy you road trip!

I did the drive from Calgary to Spokane and once in the mountains it was absolutely spectacular. I’m sure your route will be even better.

I've done Red Deer to Kamloops too many times to count. Such a great drive.

Whistler to Kamloops is even better. That was the first highway trip I did in my FR-S

Done these drives a few times. They’re pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, it’s always been a push straight through and I haven’t had the time to enjoy them. The last time I did Nanaimo to Edmonton took me about 20 hours. I’d love to be able to take more time to enjoy the sights.

Yeah we are limiting ourselves to 4-5 hours a day driving so we can stop and see anything we see along the way.

Have a great time! Enjoy the scenery, but don’t forget B.C.’s newest highway law ;)

good to know but it won’t be a problem since I always drive in the right lane with the cruise on. I’m on vacation I’m not in any rush.
