The Sea to Sky Highway is one of the premiere road trips in British Columbia. The road winds through the mountains, along the Howe Sound, on its way to Whistler. During the drive you can see stunning viewpoints, massive waterfalls and have the opportunity to go on countless adventures. It is one of the best single day road trips we have ever done.

Those flowers, foxgloves are everywhere in the PNW. It’s the natural source of digitalis for angina. It’s a gorgeous wild flower.

Pops kudos to you for doing that gondola ride, that was wicked steep! I have a great fear of heights but enjoy the views, so I try to suffer through things like this, because afterwards I'm usually happy I did. Such a beautiful park to be marred by discarded trains. Sorry, but I think they should be cut up and removed. Entertaining video as always.

Yes, Pops is correct. Those beautiful flowers are called Foxgloves.😊

I live in Canada and have always thought Vancouver was kind of overrated based on many people's experiences but you guys did a great job showing the parts that I guess appeal to my style of travel, so thank you for that! I'm adding it to the list, but it's not the first time you have sold me on a travel destination that I dismissed prior. Well-done! I am so looking forward to the next video!

Keep in mind, Whistler is actively trying to make it difficult for day trips. Locals only, the "serfs" aren't welcome.

The west coast is incomparable to anywhere on earth. I grew up in Ontario and after my first time in the west coast I couldn't believe this was my own country. I lived out west for 4 years as a tour guide through the PNW and the rockies and there is nothing like it in the world ❤❤❤

Spot on Pops.. foxgloves are a classic "English Garden or Cottage Garden plant", not usually considered a wildflower as such I don't think.. or maybe they are in Canada.. love all of the little islands on the Canadian coastline in your video and others. Pops you are so cool.. keep those feet on the ground in your gondola and don't think of the 1000 feet or so Josh keeps telling you about.. but seriously the bridge didn't freak you out.. go you!! No stopping you now Pops :) Stunning scenery Josh thanks so much..... have to send this one to friends who's on lives in Whistler I think or at least works there in Winter.. snowboarding cheers from Western Australia

I live in West Vancouver. I have driven that road since the 70's. On a sunny day it's shockingly gorgeous. But, there's a reason we locals call our home "Raincouver". It only rains once, continuously, from October 1st to April 1st. I'm watching this while in Maui, and it makes me cherish our life in British Columbia.

I'm motivated to do this trip! Thanks.
