Couldn't believe some of the average reviews. I have driven this road many times and it perfectly safe unless you are someone who shouldn't be driving. If you are visiting the area and you have a sunny day drive all the way to Pemberton.

I didn't expect such dramatic mountain and canyon scenes so quickly. Even with rain, we could see it all through the dome. The commentary by the crew was very informative and the food was great

We went on a full day Landsea tour to Whistler via the Sea to Sky highway which is spectacular. It was rebuilt for the Olympics so is a first class road. The tour driver stopped several times for photo opportunities and we did get some great photos of snow capped mountains

I only drove on the highway to go from Vancouver to Whistler, but it was an amazing drive. A small 2 lane winding highway with amazing views. A ton of places to stop and admire the view or to take photos. Small towns dot the highway for a quick stop. Tons of attractions and places to hike as well. You... More
