Sea-to-Sky RV Itinerary: 3 Days from Vancouver to Whistler
Quick summary: This short RV itinerary follows the Sea-to-Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler and back, with waterfalls, ocean views and mountain trails. Day one stops at Porteau Cove and Shannon Falls on the way to Squamish, day two continues to Whistler, and day three returns south. It suits a first RV trip, though many companies require a longer minimum rental, so it also works as the opening of a longer campervan or motorhome trip.
