An excellent documentary of a very scenic highway. One thing to clarify: the section of four-lane highway between Vernon and Oyama (where Kalamalka Lake ends and Wood Lake begins) was built some 25-30 years ago. It's the Wood Lake section that was more recently built. The old highway along Wood Lake (now Pelmewash Parkway) was scenic, hugging the shoreline of the lake, but narrow and very busy as time time went on, and a replacement was overdue. Ironically, the new freeway section follows the route of the original wagon road through the area called Old Mission Road.
Moved from N Vancouver to Vernon in 64,2 months later moved to Kelowna then in 67 moved to Westbank at age of 10 sadly left there in 87 for Alberta for work 😢 still here but do plan on moving back 😀
Hello again Phil.Another great vid.I never been to western Canada but watching your videos really makes me want to go see all the beauty out there.Great job keep them coming.
Great work! Id love to see Peachland thru Penticton to Okanagan Falls. Vernon and Penticton areas are beautiful scenic highways. Doing the triangle from Penticton to Keremeos to Osoyoos and back to Penticton is incredible!
I am from india so when we see these roads we feel amazing we wish to have ur new trip soon and u may add city videos which come in ur trip so we can also see cities of canada
nice video! I filmed Hwy 97 from West Kelowna to Penticton a few weeks ago. I really need to start uploading, but my Internet isn't that good and it can take 2 days to upload a video.
yup i often have my Spotify playlist of electronic music playing in my car while driving. Welcome to my channel. Most of my videos feature electronic music but a few have different genres when I feel like mixing it up a bit.

Thanks for the updated information. I didn't realize that, I thought the whole entire length of the highway was new.
@@TransCanadaPhil This is where Asphalt planet filmed the Okanagan Valley last month. You better watch the video.
@@kennypalermo9071 yup, this is just slightly north of where Asphalt Planet's video was. Very close, just about 10-15 min away from Kelowa.
@@TransCanadaPhil What time was Asphalt Planet's British Columbia video filmed at?
I'm really glad I found your channel. I guess I'm not the only one who loves nothing more than great trance music and highway driving.
yes it's surprisingly hypnotic :-D. Thanks for visiting

Stunning landscape! Thanks for sharing.
yea looks awesome
Amazing!!! Never been to Canada but these videos suggest a visit! Greetings from Italy!!
Excellent route. The northbound view is especially GOOD!
Yeah I agree, the northbound route is slightly even more scenic than the south, not that the south is any slouch :-D
Awesome video ! This part of Canada always fascinated me !
Hello again Phil.Another great vid.I never been to western Canada but watching your videos really makes me want to go see all the beauty out there.Great job keep them coming.
thanks. my next one will be of the lower mainland in BC.
Byron Stubbert thanks. I'll have more coming throughout the winter.
Amazing! I just love freeways in the mountains, especially by large lakes. This reminds me of I-90 in northern Idaho by Lake Couer d'Alene
yes i guess this is just north of Idaho, so that makes sense.
Great work! Id love to see Peachland thru Penticton to Okanagan Falls. Vernon and Penticton areas are beautiful scenic highways. Doing the triangle from Penticton to Keremeos to Osoyoos and back to Penticton is incredible!
Been driving that road several times on my 4 Canada trips, visiting friends in Kelowna, love the area. Thanks for the video!
Wow great channel! Great vids and great music.
Very beautiful highway. I drove this road southerly eons ago.
oh really? did you ever make a video of it too?
no. the last time I drove it was long before I started filming roads.
Cheers, mate! Nice to go for a drive without the responsibilities. Great quality video and what you do with the road signs is very nice. Thank you.
From Highway 97c turnoff to the USA border, highway 97 is mostly a two-laner.
I would love to know what you use for editing :)) great video
Jay Bruce i use final cut pro x on an imac.
I dont evere remember driving through the Okanagan in the rain. It's always a beautiful day.
yes, very different from Vancouver that way!
Excellent! This looks very similar to I-84 in Oregon, you'll see what I mean when I release it. Look out for Episode 15.
Thanks Kyle. I will look out for it. ✌️

10:08 😳😳😳
10:12 😳😳😳
you make the roads look so small with the time lapse
you're right, they do seem longer in real life.
Interesting that despite being a relatively new expressway, there are very narrow shoulders.
yeah now that you mention it that's true. I didn't notice it at the time I was recording :-D
