Sea-to-Sky Highway: Vancouver to Whistler and Pemberton

The name says it all: from sparkling ocean right on up to craggy peaks, this is one dazzling journey. Pull over at Porteau Cove for a view of Howe Sound on the 120-kilometre (75-mile) drive from Vancouver to Whistler, or stop in Squamish and ascend high above the turquoise waters on the Sea to Sky Gondola.
