Go on an amazing Canadian road trip this summer

With the Canadian Dollar remaining at a marked discount to the American Dollar, the summer of 2018 is shaping up to be another great year to discover Canada on a road trip.
 
With the busyness of its 150th birthday behind us, the highways will be a little less crowded – if you were counting on this, don’t miss your chance to experience the following drives this summer.
 
1) Sea to Sky Highway
 
After enjoying everything Vancouver has to offer, rent a car and drive it across the Lion’s Gate Bridge. Instead of boarding the Horseshoe Bay ferry to Vancouver Island, though, turn right, as this will lead you onto one of the most scenic routes in Canada.
 
Known as the Sea to Sky Highway, this road features mountains on one side and Howe Sound on the other as it takes you from sea level to Whistler, one of the world’s best alpine resorts. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to climb the Chief, take a gondola ride high above Squamish, and view stunning waterfalls.
 
Once in Whistler, you’ll be able to ski world class runs in winter and bike them in the summer, shop in countless boutiques, and dine in exquisite restaurants.
 
Looking for a real adventure? Drive the Sea to Sky past Whistler and Pemberton to its terminus near Lilooet. Driving through the deserted backcountry, you’ll get in touch with the wilderness which defines this country.     
 
Weather not cooperating during your drive? When wet systems push in from the Pacific, entertain yourself with a spot of online gaming. With e-casinos like Ruby Fortune having been around since 2003, they can be trusted with your money.
 
This old gambling company offers all of your favourite games: from slots to blackjack to roulette, you’ll pass the time waiting for the rain to clear in fine fashion.
 
2) Icefields Parkway
 
On the other side of the Rockies, the Icefields Parkway will give you a chance to witness some of Canada’s most gorgeous mountain scenery. Stretching between the resort towns of Lake Louise and Jasper, it is bordered by countless snowy peaks, glaciers, effervescent lakes, and thick evergreen forests.
 
Camp along the way at primitive sites, stay at wilderness hostels or book a room at a hotel at the other end – however you decide to experience this amazing stretch of road, you will be sure to make many long lasting memories along the way.

3) Cabot Trail
 
Experience the best natural scenery the East Coast has to offer by driving the Cabot Trail. Situated on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, this loop can be done in a day, but we suggest breaking it up into two.
 
With ample campsites, motels, and luxury hotels along the way, picking a stopping spot won’t be a problem. Leaving behind the coastal views, the colour of leaves in fall, and the charming Canadians you’ll meet along the way will be what makes it tough to end your trip here.
