More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning in Vancouver begins with the city receding in the rearview as the Sea-to-Sky Highway unfurls—ocean on one side, mountains on the other. The driver eases across the Lions Gate Bridge, and Howe Sound’s deep blue seems to dare the road to climb. Windows frame vertical walls of rainforest and the granite face of the Stawamus Chief, while the road threads alpine passes that lead toward Whistler’s village core.
