Travelling east from Vancouver, take a slightly longer (but arguably more scenic) route along Highway 3 towards Penticton, a winding road flanked by expansive wilderness. Be sure to stop for a mid-trip break in E.C. Manning Provincial Park for incredible views in any season. While travelling this route, be prepared for rain or snow and follow all winter regulations, including mandatory snow tires between Oct 1st and April 30th. Plan, pack, and prepare for your trip in advance for a picturesque, worry-free drive.
Emma’s Highlights:
- Stop by Manning Park Resort to stretch your legs, breathe in the fresh winter mountain air, and grab a bite to eat at the Pinewoods Dining Room or road trip snacks at the Country Store.
- Stroll the small village of Cawston and pop into Twisted Hills Craft Cider for sips of organic fruit-forward ciders.
- Munch on German schnitzel and homemade sourdough with garlic butter on the outdoor picnic tables at Crowsnest Vineyards.
