Well My dad and I drove from Victoria to Drumheller. Along the way we stopped in Vancouver(Stanley Park is a total mess after last winters wind storms) Vernon, Golden Revelstoke, Radium Hot Springs, Calgary, and Drumeller. On the wayback we went through Southern part of Alberta then Bottrel, Jasper, Revelstoke again Golden, Vernon, KelowNA, merritt, Lillooet, Lytton, Pemberton (craziest roads ever steepest grade downhill was 15 percent I thought roads were only allowed 14) Whistler, Nanaimo, then home.
