Hi guys! Sorry this is not about any flight deals But My gf and I will start a roadtrip soon! We are looking for some tips about this trip! We haven't been to anywhere outside of Vancouver. So any kind of suggestion would be really helpful! We are both nature lover. We will bring a tent with us so some awesome camping locations would be really helpful! We will be driving so suggestions about scenic route would be really nice too! We are both really excited about this trip! Thanks guys! You guys have been so awesome! Here is a map of our tentative trip. We have about 19 days.

You should check out Wells Grey Park! It is amazing.

Thanks adding that to the trip now!

Do the Oregon Coast!!! It's beautiful! Take the 101 all the way down.... Gorgeous scenery!!!

Cranbrook doesn't have great spots to stay may wanna try Kimberly or wasa lake just outside of cranbrook

Christina Lake just outside of Grand Forks heading towards Castlegar/Nelson area....simply beautiful and Osoyoos is amazing too.

I just spent two weeks in Osoyoos....it is warm and beautiful....my favorite place in BC

would really like to do a road trip from Vancouver to Bella Coola.Im waiting for a go signal with a friend...........

Circle trip taking the ferry from port hardy to prince Rupert? You get to see some ocean too and see some amazing small towns. If you're willing to keep going north drive up to Hyder Alasks next to Stewart BC. glaciers, bears, king crab and get Hyderized! Go through the okanagan wine country and load up on fresh bc produce! Have fun!

I loved Bella coola! I took the 10 hour ferry to Bella bella and saw the most beautiful scenery!!!!! Whales and porpoise and many bald eagles. The windy road into Bella coola is terrifying though! It's a switchback all the way down the mountain! Very beautiful trip!

Hi Rebecca..I wish my friend would read your comment about Bella Coola..she is a little bit hesitated to go because she said its kinda expensive to take a Ferry and she said its a long drive.
I really would like to go as Ive heard its really beautiful there.
Where did you stay in Bella Coola and what activities did you go to?
If you would like to share a few pic here that would be awesome!
*ps..youre not obligated to post pics though ..im really curious to see beautiful pic and sceneries.
thanks.

If ur driving to Terrace and Prince Rupert take a small detour to Kitimat. It's beautiful valley surrounded by mountains.

New Denver is a stunning place to stop in the Kootenays not too far from Nelson.

Im originally from terrace. Its beautiful! Also the drive from Terrace to PR is beautiful as well, and PR has great places to eat fresh caught fish and like I said the ocean drive is beautiful.They also offer whale watching day tours, or bear tours or boat rides, as well as tons of touristy shops near the marina. terrace has a big lake and provincial camp site attached, Lakelese lake, which is so pretty! also it is a short drive to go to Hyder Alaska ( or if you are coming in from Highway into terrace from smithers at the junction) where you can see the glaciers and a lot of other cool stuff. terrace is also huge for camping, fishing, hiking . Only thing for camping is you may need to have reservations at various places because its peak season. PG is a 6 hr drive from terrace, with the nearest Costco and major shopping, fyi. But smithers has great camping sites too, a lot of the whole drive from the lower mainland to PR area will be beautiful!!

From Nelson to Cranbrook I would definately take the Free Ferry from Balfour to Crawford Bay and drive through Creston

The ferry one way for car and 2 people is about 800 bucks

now you are almost at Haida Gwaii you should take the ferry over that what i wanted to do but it didnt happen yet

Wow thank you guys for all the comments!
I have just added some of your suggestions to my map! We won't be taking the ferry since it's too expensive for us. Thanks again! I'm still looking for more suggestions!

Dont forget big johnson lake

Syringa park has great waterfalls, one is a natural waterslide, drive right on the fork passed the campground on the dirt road till about the 12k mark, at the bridge. Super beautiful swimming hole. There's another great swimming hole by Nelson, right by the generation station. Just go around the fence and you'll find a trail to follow through the woods, it's also a really nice hike. There's a spot with two craters
next to each other in the water, and you can go down one and come out the other. Spotted lake is worth a quick stop as well, that's just outside of osoyoos. And I finally there's a couple hot springs out that way, I haven't been to halfway hot springs but JUST passed it there's St. Leon hotsprings, and there's plenty of space to camp there as well.

Tofino, learn to surf on Japanese water! It's a great twisting road through park land. Long (its very long) beach's white sand is awesome and not a lot of people there.

Amazing wine country in the Okanagan valley. Biking along the Naramata bench near Penticton, and pickup a bottle or two of the local VQA wines, then a picnic overlooking beautiful Lake Okanagan. While you are in Penticton try the tubing down the canal between Lakes Okanagan and Skaha. Heaven!

No offense to the places you are missing on this trip, but you will see some of the most beautiful places in the world. If you pop "up" from Terrace and into the Nass Valley, there is a great museum in Lakaalzap (known as Greenville for a brief period but still that on some maps). Not counting time in the museum it would add a couple of hours to your trip....seeing the lava beds and the Nass Valley are well worth it.

wow Kathleen that's a really cool place! Thanks! Adding that to the map now!

Athabasaca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, Bow summit and peyto lake by Hwy 93N, thats the hwy from Jasper to Banff very scenic if no rain. In Banff must see Morraine lake, in Yoho Nat. Park sigthseeing in Takakkaw Falls, Emerald lake and Natural bridge. In Wells Gray (clearwater) must hike Helmcken and Mouls Falls and sidetrip Dawson creek and spahats falls. In Revelstoke, must drive up and sigthseeing 'meadows in the sky'.

If you have the funds to do it, I'd suggest going east to start and skipping the Williams Lake/Quesnel route and taking the ferry down from Prince Rupert to Vancouver Island and then back over to Vancouver. The island is not to be missed!

Takkakkaw Falls campground in Yoho National Park is not to be missed!

Manning park, Allison lake and osoyoos are all musts

What ap was this? I downloaded a couple different ones to make my map but so far not so great.

Green Lake Provincial Park is gorgeous and lots of camping sites spread around the lake. It's just south of 100 Mile House and near Lone Butte. It's really not too far off Hwy 97 turn off near 70 Mile House.

Do you really want to drive 4000+ kms in 19 days? I would definitely recommend shortening the trip (out and back to Rupert is 1400 kms and the drive from PG to Jasper is nothing special (although if you do go, look for the Ancient Forest east of PG). I would recommend camping at Nairn Falls Prov Park at Pemberton (short walk to the falls. Check out Mile One Eating House in Pemberton). On the drive to Lillooet stop at Joffre Lakes. If the weather is good the hike is spectacular and can be done round trip in 3 - 3.5 hours.) Camp for free at the BC Hydro campsite at Seton Lake just south of Lillooet. Stock up on some fresh fruit/veggies at Airport Gardens and wine at Fort Berens winery in Lillooet. I agree that camping around Green Lake can be quite nice. I would actually recommend Hwy 24 from 93 mile (I think) to Little Fort then stop at Wells Gray for a day or two. Then on to Mt Robson and Jasper from there. Icefields Parkway is one of the best drives in the world IMO. Don't miss it, and take your time. When you go to Nelson a day trip to Kaslo and New Denver is a beautiful drive. Despite the brutal architecture (at least as I recall from years ago), Ainsworth Hot Springs on the way to Kaslo is worth the stop for its horseshoe cave. Enjoy your trip!

Hi Steve! Thank you so much for the advice!

Hi
Coco its called roadtrippers

our updated map!

Ainsworth hot springs near Nelson is very cool. Gotta stop at the chilliwack airport to get some pie!!! Excellent farmers market in Courtney comox. If you are near Lund there is a wonderful little restaurant there and you can take a water taxi to go to the beautiful beaches on savary island. Have fun!

Yeah I'm using it to but it's not the greatest.. Looks different

In prince Rupert eat at smiles
