During the drive you can see stunning viewpoints, massive waterfalls and have the opportunity to go on countless adventures. It is one of the best single day road trips we have ever done. Let us know what your favorite stop was in the comments!

    I live in Canada and have always thought Vancouver was kind of overrated based on many people's experiences but you guys did a great job showing the parts that I guess appeal to my style of travel, so thank you for that! I'm adding it to the list, but it's not the first time you have sold me on a travel destination that I dismissed prior. Well-done! I am so looking forward to the next video!

      The west coast is incomparable to anywhere on earth. I grew up in Ontario and after my first time in the west coast I couldn't believe this was my own country. I lived out west for 4 years as a tour guide through the PNW and the rockies and there is nothing like it in the world ❤❤❤

    Pops kudos to you for doing that gondola ride, that was wicked steep! I have a great fear of heights but enjoy the views, so I try to suffer through things like this, because afterwards I'm usually happy I did. Such a beautiful park to be marred by discarded trains. Sorry, but I think they should be cut up and removed. Entertaining video as always.

    Spot on Pops.. foxgloves are a classic "English Garden or Cottage Garden plant", not usually considered a wildflower as such I don't think.. or maybe they are in Canada.. love all of the little islands on the Canadian coastline in your video and others. Pops you are so cool.. keep those feet on the ground in your gondola and don't think of the 1000 feet or so Josh keeps telling you about.. but seriously the bridge didn't freak you out.. go you!! No stopping you now Pops :) Stunning scenery Josh thanks so much..... have to send this one to friends who's on lives in Whistler I think or at least works there in Winter.. snowboarding cheers from Western Australia

    I live in West Vancouver. I have driven that road since the 70's. On a sunny day it's shockingly gorgeous. But, there's a reason we locals call our home "Raincouver". It only rains once, continuously, from October 1st to April 1st. I'm watching this while in Maui, and it makes me cherish our life in British Columbia.

    I very much enjoy traveling through your lens. One suggestion: I would love it if you would date your videos for the month of your trips. Since I think many of us preview our own potential trips through travel videos, it helps our planning. In the comments you say this is June, but it came out mid-September. I'm motivated to do this trip! Thanks.

    Joffre Lake park ,which is further north of Pemberton ,is the last scenic spot. This park has trails that allow you to see Icefields, cold rushing streams and 3 beautiful turquoise blue water lakes. This park along with Whistler are must stops for us local . Joffre lakes is so popular that you have to register for permission to access the park one day ahead of time.
