Troof. Its so flat and boring they put in zigs and zags every so often to keep you from falling asleep.

...... camp out in Banff, Rogers Pass, then decide on whether to drive the entire Sea to Sky to Whistler or just take the Coquihalla back to Vancouver. If I take the Coke, I'm hitting up some winery tours.[/span]

Ive been through banff and other areas now.. it IS a nice area. But to me its overated and over touristy now.

I recently did the coq on the way up and the hope-lytton/lilloet on teh way down. Coq is faster but alot more hilly and makes a diff if you are towing a boat like we were. The other way is more windy and slower.. but more scenic.  I know you are talking about a further route more round about from
If you havent done it and have the time to drive THAT much more after driving forever like you are doing.. and you want to see the type of stuff you seem to want to.. do it.
I dont know which way you are going to be coming.. but Ive done the cache creek then over and along to and through pemberton and down. Its a bit windy but a nice drive.
We went up through the coq, through logan creek, and to around cache creek and we saw some but not alot of fire damage or forest fire.. mostly damage from the pine beetle.

I'm picking up someone in Saskatoon so somehow I'll give up the reins to the car sometime along the way. lol
I've seen trans can up to Yale, haven't completely done the whole road.
But, there's always been a part of me that wants to do the entire sea to sky.
I'll make up my mind whenever I get to Cache Creek I guess on whether to take option a b or c. All depends on time.

oh for PC

That's hilarious SD.  I only made to 1:28, but that's all it took...I couldn't take any more.  What a godforsaken stretch of landscape....lol

Tried the Canada line last Sunday, it was a pleasant ride and only took about 20 mins from the airport to Granville St..

purelife

Was it still packed, JJ?  

I agree with you about the smooth and quiet ride.
 

JJ

It was Sunday so it was full but not too packed.  I could see on weekdays that it would be crowded.

Sportsdude

I'll probably ride the whole system tomorrow
