Drove the crows nest pass through EC Manning park this long weekend. Awesome drive with superb scenery and twisting winding roads. Continued along to Penticton then up to Kelowna. From there went south (2km before the kelowna bridge) onto Westside Rd. Which i have to say is really, truly amazing. Not only does it follow okanogan lake, is practically desolate of any traffic even Victoria day, but the combination of steep inclines and rapid turns makes for a true mountain road. There were a few nasty patches (pot holes, minor gravel etc) near the rural sections, but drive slow and you're good.
I then did a trial run in a friends car from Kamloops to Vancouver through Whistler on the 99. It was good highway for the most part, however sometime after Marble Canyon to Pemberton, near Fountain Valley I'd say the roads are inappropriate for a Z. Far too many pot holes and stretches of gravel. I would have cried if i was in my new car...
Overall great weekend of driving!
Planning on going to the island next time.
