The scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) takes you from the emerald waters of Vancouver’s North Shore to the Coast Mountain towns of Whistler and Pemberton, then onwards to the rugged town of Lillooet. With a dramatic ocean fjord, valleys carved by the Ice Age, and volcanic geography, it is often described as one of the most spectacular drives in the world—especially during the summer.
Travel the Sea-to-Sky as a stand-alone road trip, or continue your journey along the Rainforest to Rockies route, an unforgettable trip from the Pacific Ocean on the west coast to the Canadian Rockies, located on the eastern edge of BC, at the Alberta border. But it’s not just about the destination. Getting there is filled with a myriad of adventures. Immerse yourself in a constellation of community gems, cultural experiences, and nature-based activities as you travel through the heart of Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere Region and beyond. Átl’ka7tsem is Squamish Nation language that translates to “paddling into the sound.”
