British Columbia Road Trips

The easiest way to explore British Columbia’s natural beauty, small towns, and wildlife is by open road.

Cross the province west to east on a trip to the Canadian Rockies, or find adventure from south to north along Highway 97 and the Alaska Highway. There are scenic trips along the coast, roads that explore local food and drink scenes, and even opportunities to say ahhhh in a mountain hot springs. And if you’re lucky, you’ll find a journey that takes you somewhere you never expected to go.

Go to DriveBC to plan your route and check for any construction projects or road closures, and find current travel restrictions, entry requirements, and other key resources and information here.

This summer, let’s get out and explore the beauty in our own backyard. Go somewhere new, and you’ll stumble upon places that feel like hidden gems—even if you’ve lived here your whole life. The best way to uncover these surprises? Pack up for a multi-day road trip, where every turn brings something unexpected, like the cool hush of a misty coastal morning or the warm sunset glow over a wildflower valley.

The best part is, travelling around BC couldn’t be easier. Slow down, stretch out your stays, and take pride in the places you call home. There’s something special about knowing that everything we’re looking for—the wonder, and the connection to nature and to each other—is already here, just around the corner.
