So, after I carefully navigated a full day of drinking during the 5 th annual Locke Family Pub Crawl™ in order to be up for a full day of driving the following day, I set off along the north route, spending nights in Jasper and Hope before meeting up with Laynni at the Victoria airport (apparently not everyone is so enamoured with long road trips).Ĭheck out: The Ultimate Vancouver Island Road Trip Itinerary Although I was still planning to spend some time in Yoho National Park on the way home, one of my personal favourites and generally considered to be one of the best national parks in Canada. Plus, this year’s trip was a bit earlier than in the past which made planning my Pacific Northwest road trip more difficult than usual, with mountain hiking (everything mountain-related, really) pretty dicey with still a fair amount of snow lying around. It would add a full extra day of driving to each end of the trip but, speaking of criminal, how, in all our travels, had I never set foot on Vancouver Island, one of Canada’s most amazing summer destinations? Unacceptable. This time around, however, I finally decided to extend things out to the coast. Whether I’m hiking or mountain biking, with that kind of incredible scenery just a day’s drive away it would seem criminal not to take advantage at least once a year. In the past few years I’ve spent a lot of time in Montana (just can’t get enough of the phenomenal scenery in Glacier), along with many bits and pieces of AB, BC and even Idaho. I recently returned from my now annual summer road trip, this time taking in a big circle around the Pacific Northwest.
