Planning a 5 day trip flying from Houston to Vancouver in mid-April
staying in Whistler. Want to see lots of sights. Will have rental car.
Should we drive south along the coast to Seattle or go up and down the
coast between Vancouver, Victoria and Port Hardy???
Or both?

Suggestions and comments welcome.


I suggest you drive in BC. One reason is that you won't have to spend
limited vacation time waiting in line at the border crossings (wait times
can be quite long when crossing into the US on weekends). Another reason is
that there really is no 'drive' along the Washington coast. You can drive
more-or-less along the Strait to Neah Bay, but then have to drive mostly
inland down HWYs 113 and 101 (there is a small stretch of coastal drive
around Kalaoch) to Grey's Harbor area. If you are looking for scenic Pacific
coast drives in the US then consider the Oregon and Northern California
coasts.
