We pulled off so many times just to take in the view and even wandered up to some huge waterfall. We also took the ferry to Vancouver Island and drove all over and visited Victoria. I would love to drive my car around there. You all have some amazing roads!!!! Heck of a lot better than this driving on straight flat streets we have in most of Dallas.

Glad you like my home!
I live in the Vancouver area, so it's actually mostly straight flat streets too. The Vancouver to Whistler drive is pretty good, but you need to drive out a little further to hit the really good twisty stuff. The photo was taken at Seton Lake near Lillooet, one of the stops I took during the Duffy Lake Loop, a well-known route for motorcyclists and car enthusiasts here:
The best part is between Pemberton and Lillooet, so make sure you get a chance to drive that. If you want to do the whole loop, it takes about 8 hours, not including stops.
I've only done the loop once, went Eastbound towards Hope and so on. This is the most boring part of the journey as it's roughly 2 hours of regular highway. I think next time I'll just go straight up towards Whistler, Pemberton, and turnaround after I hit Lillooet. There's some decent stuff between Lillooet to Hope, but it's questionable whether it's worth it as you'll have to go through that boring 2 hour part between Hope to Vancouver.
