Heading to Vancouver Friday

[CCM Pro]

Hey I am driving solo to Vancouver Friday...anyone been out that way lately and any construction/traffic stuff i should watch out for?

It may be a boring drive solo so if anyone wants to pitch in for gas and come PM me!

Take the #3, its a much more enjoyable drive.:thumbsup:

the #3 is? I heard that before too...how long approximately?

An extra 250 or so KM over the #1 route.

there is a split at salmon i think,
you can take kelowna which would make it a bit longer
or through kamploops which is shorter
take left on salmon towards kelowna or just go straight for kamloops

think the kelowna road is more to sightseeing but i don't even remember, been a while since i chose that route..

correct me if im wrong anyone
might have mixed it up

The #3 actually ends up being less time because the traffic is no where near as bad.

Here is a Mapquest from Fernie to Vancouver, just so it would use the #3.

Here is the #1 route from Calgary.

I've done both and prefer the #3, less traffic and more scenic.
