We woke up at 5.30am, first time for a while, because for some reason we had arranged to drop off the car in Vancouver about 150km away at 9am, rush hour in an unfamiliar city! We woke to a glorious morning and saw some of the best views of Whistler since we had arrived. The Sea to Sky Highway was a lovely drive beginning in the snow-capped mountains, and then suddenly, unexpectedly you see the Sea emerge on the horizon. Then you cross the sea by driving over the huge Lions Gate suspension bridge leading to Vancouver. Ferries and seaplanes milling around below you, and on such a beautiful day. We stopped a couple of times to take in the sights of Whistler, and also got a last sighting of a black bear. Content this time to pull over on to the side of the deserted road and watch from the car window as it fed just about 10-20 metres away, we both would love to go back to this part of Canada again.Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Sea to Sky Highway - Goodbye to the car
