Not only do you start and end in beautiful places - the sea to sky highway is stunning - amazing views! The sunset is superb accrosst the gulf islands and there's so much to see along the way. If you're travelling by public transport make sure you are on the right side to have a sea view!

It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever experienced in my life! Breathtaking! Going north and south it was spectacular. Plan your trip to Whistler from Vancouver during the sunset...so pretty and memorable!

This is the most beautiful drive on the planet. I live in Alaska and have been to almost every continent; nowhere have I seen a road with comparable scenery and beauty. This road has many hills and climbs and winds along the coast all the way from the big city of Vancouver, through Squamish, Whistler and ultimately to the sleepy... More

It was a cloudy day but incredible views were still enjoyed! A nice highway, mostly 2 lanes and the speed was comfortable.

Very nice road, which is apparently due to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler. Tons of places to pull off and see the view. Go to the BC Mining Museum and the staff at the visitor's information center (re) in Squamish were nice.

I recently (2nd of May 2013) took a one day coach trip from Vancouver to Whistler. The drive along the Sea to Sky highway was truly spectacular. The views of snow capped mountains contrasting with views of the native treed forests and blue seas made for a very pleasant drive. On the return journey from Whistler we also saw bears... More

If you like to drive this highway is SPECTACULAR! I went on a clear sunny on a day trip to Whislter. If you're not in a rush I would highly recommend you stop as often as possible to check out the scenery. Next time I go to Vancouver I'm going to rent a motorcycle just to ride this highway. Can't...

We had heard this drive is one of the prettiest in the world - and it lived up to it. The views were amazing! One of our favorite stops was in Shannon Falls - just a short hike up to see this waterfall - don't miss it!
