Driving the Sea to Sky Highway in British Columbia! (Waterfalls, Whistler train wreck, & MORE!)

The time has finally come...we're making the final drive up to ALASKA! We have 12 days and 3,000 km (1,864 miles) to go and for the first leg of the drive, we're driving the Sea to Sky Highway!
The Sea to Sky Highway is a STUNNING 150 km (93 mile) drive from Vancouver to Pemberton, just north of Whistler, with gorgeous views of the Howe Sound, mountains, towns to visit, and hikes and sights to see! And we spent two days driving most of the road, making different stops along the way!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

I love this place. When I worked in Canada in the ‘80’s, we used to come out to Vancouver on sales trips. Always kept the weekend free to ski at Whistler. I’m not much of a skier so I’d go up to Pemberton and hike around Nairn Falls. Never even considered bears in those days. Thanks for the memories!

We love it too! It never gets old! We’re glad we could stoke up those memories!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Kona loved her ice cream! As long as no one died at least they can now be used for public enjoyment Thanks for watching!

[@billkipper3264]

Years ago I spent five months in Whistler, from February to June. Drove the Sea to Sky several times down to Vancouver and back. Still the most beautiful drive I've ever seen. Drop dead gorgeous. Also saw bears daily. If you didn't see at least one a day right in town you just weren't paying attention.

[@adrianadrian255]

I worked up there many years ago. - in the upper village, in the summer we'd get tourists coming in and complaining they hadn't seen a bear. i'd take them to the doorway of the store and point them out to them - there'd sometimes be a dozen gazing on the hill. I lived in Squamish, for a few years working in West Vancouver and then a few more working in Whistler, I drove the Sea to Sky everyday - but back before the olympics, when the road was wild - often referred to as "the death highway", the southern stretch from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish was once one of the most dangerous roads in the world

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That drive blows us away every time too! It never gets old.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow that is wild!

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

@@AdventuresofAplusK I used to love the drive when it was 'extreme'. I worked in Whistler when the Olympic bid was going through and knew people who were on the Olympic committee. The sole reason for wanting to host the Olympics was to force the government to build a new road, the town wanted customers to be less put off by the drive. When the weather used to get very bad, RCMP would set up a road block just north of Squamish and talk to drivers. Only allowing locals through. It didn’t matter what you were driving, a lot of fancy 4x4s from Vancouver would be turned around and sent home. If you weren’t used to the road, they didn’t want you on it. - this didn’t matter so much to the hotels, since rooms were booked and paid for, but to restaurants and other businesses, the loss of customers was felt. Although other businesses were involved, it was mostly the company that owned Whistler/Blackcomb that lobbied for the games and the new highway. As soon as the bid was won, the company lobbied the government for compensation for 'loss of earnings' - since having the hills used for the Olympics, meant they couldn’t sell skiing to the public. - the Olympics is a horrible racket.

OmG I thought it was you two hugging at 4:40 and it was Katharine hugging Kona 🐶😂🤣

Hahahah!

[@PatrickRU1992]

looked up New Zealand fruit ice cream here in L.A. and found a place. Will try!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ya it’s actually a pretty big thing in the states we’ve learned! There’s a place in Austin we’re going to try when we get home!

What a spectacular view from the campsite pitch, and access straight onto the beach - was it more expensive than other pitches or is it luck of the draw? Alice and Brohm looked amazing. I loved the slogans on their muriel outside, especially the 'adventure then ice cream' - I felt like that was very up your street too, and I also love that they have the doggie ice cream that's part charitable. You guys did so well to get the free parking spot near Whistler. I remember back in 2010, the brand new HI hostel was SO expensive and all the backpackers we met kept saying how lovely the place was, but also how expensive it was! Was the bear a grizz or black bear that you saw as you drove in? Really loved the waterfall trails in this video too - so gorgeous! Was very surprised to hear Brandywine are smaller than Shannon as it didn't look that way in the videos!

I believe all the sites at Porteau Cove are the same price (even for the sites that aren't on the water, which is a bummer). The views of that one were fantastic! Adventure then ice cream is a really fitting motto for us! We loved that they donate as well, especially since Kona was a rescue. That free camping spot was very clutch for our time there! Free camping is tough to find in Canada. The hostels and hotels in Whistler look really nice, but ya I can imagine how expensive they are! The bear we saw was a black bear. We have only seen one grizzly so far and that's coming in a few videos! Shannon Falls is so massive!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

@@AdventuresofAplusK ​ I'm so envious that you've seen a grizz. It was inevitable with your headed up to Alaska, I can't wait to see that episode, and your reactions, and whether it was a safe and fun spotting from a distance/the van, or a 'Oh my goodness we may die here' situation. Seeing one safely, but in the wild is so high on my bucket list!

[@HANDSTANDZnHANDCUFFZ]

Are you going to all the national parks in Alaska? We are on a quest to go to all the national parks too (33 so far!) and your videos are helpful! We hope to one day travel full time like you two! :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

One of our lifetime goals is to visit all the NPs, but unfortunately we won't be able to visit all of the parks in Alaska on this trip. Many of them require a boat or plane ride to get to and we just can't do that for a variety of reasons right now. We know we'll visit Alaska many times so we'll get to them all eventually! Thanks for watching!

the Sea to Sky used to be my commute - man-years ago, when Squamish was a tiny community with no real services.- you mentioned the wind at Porteau - Squamish actually means "mother of the wind", I'm not sure if they've been beaten since, but several wind surfing records were set in the sound

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The Sea to Sky is one of our favorite drives ever! Hard to beat. Oh wow! We love learning about the First Nations!

[@adrianadrian255]

I don’t know if it still there, Squamish has changed beyond all recognition since I lived there - population is 17,000 now, it was less than 800 when I lived there. There used to be a community/cultural centre close to the highway at the south end of town run by the Squamish band. Ironically, for most of the years I lived there I commuted to West Vancouver to work at Park Royal South. Which is at the north end of the Lions Gate bridge. Park Royal South and quite a bit of land (including the rail yards) are on Squamish reserve land.

Myself I'm more of Alice lake/Cat lake camper. As for hiking, Elfin lakes, Watersprite lake are also great...so many. How did you like the descent into Lillooet on the Duffy Lake hwy....very spectacular on a nice day....knuckle biter for some? Love the Aussie "Peaked Pies" there's also one on Denman street, Vancouver.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That drive was spectacular and beautiful! We didn’t think it was a knuckle biter or scary at all though. After driving the Million Dollar Highway and other scenic mountain drives we don’t really get nervous on roads anymore. We’ll check out those spots you recommend next time! Thanks for watching!

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

I love the way you guys travel, road tripping and hiking! You’ll love it out here in New Zealand, so many great hikes and scenery. And fyi, I think Nz pies are better than Aussie ones ;-)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We CAN'T WAIT to get to New Zealand some day!

[@alrichardson7027]
