Friday. An 11.5 hour driving day with a time change to Pacific Time. No issues at all with the truck or camper, only a few crazy passing vehicles. But it was the scariest, most exhilarating, and breathtaking drive ever. Super twisty especially the last couple hours. We clung to the sides of mountains with sheer drop offs and no road shoulder. The photos can’t show the craziness of it or quite capture the beauty. Jeff was an amazing driver, pulling the camper and keeping us on the road the whole time. Whew! Later we found out that Hwy 99 has a name, the Sun-to-Sky Highway and it’s one of the most scenic highways in Canada. Yes, yes it is.
The view from our campground as we were leaving. If I would have taken a photo out the back window, another snow capped mountain would be in view. 
British Columbia, here we come! 
Always trains everywhere out here. 
Suddenly it wasn’t alpine plants anymore. Suddenly it looked like Southwest USA! 
The land went from green to tan. 
And the roads got scarier. There hasn’t been much construction but this segment of it made things especially precarious. Jeff’s knuckles were white at this point. 
Not many places to get gas and snacks in this rural area so when we do stop, we make sure to check out the store. And these were very yummy! 
One lane bridges with no warning and sometimes a blind curve right before it. They need more signage in these parts! 
Later in the day, the road began to take on a more coastal feel. Still tons of pine trees But I think more dense. 
13% grade? Jeff put the truck in a lower gear to keep us going slow enough so he didn’t have to brake as much. Despite that, we were smelling hot brakes by the end of this stretch, which went on forever cuz we would go down, and then up again and then down again and so on. 
Most of the time there weren’t cages to keep falling rocks close to the cliffs, just a watch for rocks sign every few miles. We never saw any rocks fall though. 
Runaway truck paths. We didn’t need it, thankfully. 
We finally got to Whistler and the driveway included a couple switchbacks with mirrors to see the other side. 
The view at check-in at the campground.
