Coastal mountain highway from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler.
This route climbs from the shores of Howe Sound into the Coast Mountains, passing the Stawamus Chief, Shannon Falls and views of the Tantalus Range. It was widened and divided ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Mind the cliff-edge sections, an 11 percent grade near the summit and frequent heavy traffic.
