Alternate Route

The Trans Canada Ecotour routes are divided into landscape regions, each with a map showing the locations of selected points of interest. Each point of interest is numbered and the distances between points are provided. For some points, the nearest exit number is given as a location reference. The Victoria-Kamloops Ecotour is designed for either easterly or westerly travel. Two routes are described, especially helpful for those making a return trip.

The Alternative Route contrasts with the TCH in both scenery and travel time. After a ferry trip through the Gulf Islands, Hwy 10, mostly undivided, crosses the Fraser delta, intersects the TCH near Fort Langley and crosses the Fraser River by ferry to reach tranquil Hwy 7. Crossing the TCH near Hope, it follows the Coquihalla Highway (Hwy 5) through the Cascades to the dry Interior, saving 90 minutes in good weather.
