Whistler to Lillooet: Canada road trip gets wilder

This is my drive with my sister along the Sea-to-Sky Highway (99) from Whistler to Lillooet, in British Columbia, Canada. The road goes through spectacular mountains with sparkling turquoise lakes, and by noisy, rushing rivers that follow the road. We got distracted frequently by the wild horses, dramatic views, charming towns like Pemberton and Mount Currie, and signs warning of grizzly bears which roam the area. We even steeled our resolve to attempt the hike to an infamous horseshoe bend view over Seton Lake. One of Canada's most exciting road trip experiences.

Fantastic terrain; I could practically smell the pines. And it's great to have some "estrogen" in your videos again. Travels With My Sister: could be a theme!

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks. Yeah it would be nice to travel with her again

[@seanhenry2921]

Sadly, that rail route is underused. There used to be passenger rail through there (when it was BC Rail), but it's been gone for years and years. Really enjoying your visit to my province!

[@OrlandoStreets]

Was that the old train to Whistler? If so, we did ride that years ago.

[@seanhenry2921]

Yes---BC Rail ran all the way from North Van to PG until the turn of the century. Of course, once upon a time, there was the glorious Royal Hudson doing trips on the southern part of that route, too.

[@OrlandoStreets]

@@seanhenry2921 I believe our trip was in 2005 or 2006. It was an old train out of Vancouver to Whistler.

[@RoseBenson-jv5xm]

@@OrlandoStreets They used to run an historic steam train from NVan to Whistler. The BC rail passenger train was unique in that you could flag it down while standing by the tracks, and then go on to your destination.

We've been to Whistler. Dan drove all the way from Florida. I flew to San Francisco and drove the rest with him. What a beautiful place this is. Hope to drive to Alaska someday. What an adventure that would be. Your sisters photographs have to be incredible!

[@T1DWanderer]

I've always wanted to drive Alaska/Seattle thru Canada. I'm curious to see her photos as well - she's still sorting through and processing the hundreds that she took, she said!

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

@@T1DWanderer Whistler is one of the prettiest areas. Peak 2 Peak Gondola was awesome

Jeremy ... have to say most enjoyable ... I drove from Squamish to Lillooet twice a week in the 90s and have to say, must have been asleep as your trip was comprehensive, did not realize what I was missing. Thank you for sharing.

[@T1DWanderer]

Really! That's interesting. Glad I was able to find new stuff for you!

[@melbeth79]

Oh yes, it can get mighty hot here in Canada at times! I'm from southern Ontario and hot, humid summers were just the norm. Even up here in the north where I live now it can get quite hot sometimes but the winters are definitely longer. Beautiful west coast! Thanks again for sharing.

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks. In the next video Canada gets even hotter than this...!

[@johndecholsjr]

Spending time with your sister is fun time.

[@T1DWanderer]

I thought so

[@joebehrdenver]

Once you're away from the coast, BC can get very, very toasty in the summer. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.

[@T1DWanderer]

It sure can. The next video is even warmer than this day

[@channel9r]

Splendid as always. We don't have bears here in Scotland except maybe in commercial wildlife parks which I avoid like the plague. But if we did, I'd be paranoid as well.

[@T1DWanderer]

I should move to Scotland then!

[@learnasigo-pl1ti]

WOW 😍 Spectacular views around every bend. I've just added British Columbia to my bucket list. What a wonderful opportunity you had to visit this special place with your sister.

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks. I was worried that I'd planned too-short days, and not much would happen. As usual, the opposite happened. Too much going on here!

[@mikecarrington4297]

Thank you for this video!! So beautiful and it will be hard to top this one.

[@T1DWanderer]

Heh I'll get to work ;)

[@wrh41]

Looks beautiful!

[@clarkmadrosen1780]

Excellent, Jeremy. ☆☆☆☆. You would not want to be there in the winter. Beautiful scenery. Nice to see brother and sister traveling together. Keep movin safely. Eh. Clark 😊😊

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks. I am curious about winter there, but I imagine it would be quite brutal. Enjoyed traveling with my sister!

[@clarkmadrosen1780]

@T1DWanderer she is the boss.! Right ? LOL

[@kendufresne]

Such a beautiful trip, thank you for sharing!

[@VancouverGordo]

Love that drive Whistler- Lillooet

[@rcmrcm3370]

Don't forget your can of hotsause (bear spray)....

[@KyDarknight]

Loving the videos!❤

[@T1DWanderer]

Thanks! Hope the videos capture the enormous fun that the drives were

[@Niteskate1]

Thanks for taking us along, a great video of an area of BC I have never traveled to, some amazing views. Does your sister have a website for her photography?

[@T1DWanderer]

Her website is larsenartsphotography.com and she has an Instagram @larsenarts

[@Niteskate1]

@@T1DWanderer Thanks I will check her site out, I think I am too old to figure out all that instagram stuff out.

[@johnburke1317]

Nice video 😊

[@mtkoslowski]

I miss Japan. Get thee home!

[@CathyS_Bx]

Jeremy has great travel videos from other countries too.

[@T1DWanderer]

I do like to get out of Japan every now and then!
