Driving in Circles is Fun
Drive a B.C. Highway Circle Route
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and Tourism BC, have designated circle routes designed to highlight some of the outstanding features of beautiful B.C. These self-guided trips let vacationers experience the attractions and adventures at their own pace.
Circle routes are part of our regular highways and roads, linked together to highlight local attractions and geography, so you don’t have to travel the same route twice. How much vacation time do you have...because there are nine scenic drives in our province ranging from two days to 14 days long.
One great example is the Hotsprings Route – a five- to seven-day journey with stops to soak in healing mineral pools, view or cycle railway history, and pursue plenty of outdoor adventure options. The Heritage Discovery Route explores diverse First Nations culture, traces the Gold Rush Trail and includes a ferry ride through the famed Inside Passage from Northern Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert. On the Mountains and Vineyards Route, there’s wilderness climbs and award-winning wines, plus ghost towns, and the warm waters and fresh fruit of the Okanagan.
Who knew that going in circles could be so much fun? This summer, take your time to enjoy the ride, and travel safe.
