10 Road Trips to Take From Vancouver

By Vancouver Is Awesome

A few of our favourite places to drive to

  • Sasquatch Provincial Park

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Outside of Harrison Hot Springs, this provincial park has a few lakes to visit and a ton of exploring. Make a reservation HERE early if you want to do some camping!

  • Jones Lake

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Just past Chilliwack and up a 4X4 road, paradise awaits!

  • Galiano Island

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Mushroom foraging, kayaking, or just hiking around, this little Southern Gulf Island is extremely awesome and just a 1 hour ferry from the city.

  • Bob's Lake

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    One of many spots to hit up along the Coquihalla Highway. Try randomly picking and exit in the boonies and driving down it - you're guaranteed to find a camping spot like this.

  • The Okanagan

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Visit wine country and Kelowna or head further North to Vernon and do some camping on one of the MANY lakes.

  • California

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    A bit of an anomaly on this list of BC destinations, but California is well worth doing the drive at least once in your lifetime. Be sure to dip off the I-5 and see the Oregon coast!

  • The Sunshine Coast

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    A few small towns (and lakes) dot the road along the Sunshine Coast starting in Gibsons. Spend the weekend over there, but don't be disappointed if it rains!

  • Paradise Valley

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Just a ways out of Squamish, Paradise Valley is a nice drive next to the Squamish River and makes a wonderful day trip filled with scenery.

  • Alouette Lake

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Located in Golden Ears Provincial Park, Alouette Lake is a great spot for a picnic any season of the year. In the summer they've got some great campgrounds as well.

  • The Squamish Estuary

    By Vancouver Is Awesome

    Barely a hop from the city, the estuary is a wonderful place to go for a walk and find some peace and quiet.
