Directions (via Second Narrows Bridge):
During heavy peak traffic times, travelers can take the alternate Truck Border crossing by using Exit 275, off of I-5, before getting to the main Douglas Border crossing. Drivers can then follow the Pacific Highway (also known as 176th Street or Hwy 15) through Surrey, over the Cloverdale Bypass to Highway 1 (the Trans Canada Highway).

Exit onto Hwy. 1, traveling west, and follow the highway out of Surrey, over the Port-Mann Bridge, through Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and East Vancouver.

Hwy. 1 then travels over the Ironworkers' Memorial Second Narrows Bridge, through North and West Vancouver toward Horseshoe Bay. Before Horseshoe Bay, take the Squamish-Whistler exit (#0 or 1), onto Hwy. 99 North, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway. Follow the directions to Whistler below.

Directions (via Lions Gate Bridge):
Once in Canada, after going through the Douglas Border crossing, I-5 becomes Highway 99 which travels north into Vancouver. The trip will take you through the Massey Tunnel and over the Oak Street Bridge. Once across the Oak Street Bridge, you will notice that cross streets will all be numbered in descending order from 73rd Ave. down.

When you reach the 41st Avenue intersection, turn left and travel west until you see the next major intersection - Granville Street. Turn right onto Granville and head north on Granville, which will lead you over the Granville Street Bridge into downtown Vancouver.

While on the bridge, move over to the far right lane and take the Seymour Street exit. Travel north on Seymour, until you get to Georgia Street, and turn left onto Georgia Street. Georgia Street will take you out of downtown Vancouver, through Stanley Park and over the Lions Gate Bridge.

Once across the bridge, stay to the left, follow the off-ramp around and exit via the Marine Drive West turnoff towards West Vancouver. Once on Marine Drive get in the right-hand lane, as you will be making the first right onto Taylor Way. After travelling up the hill on Taylor Way, turn left onto Highway 1 West towards Horseshoe Bay. Before Horseshoe Bay, take the Squamish-Whistler exit (#0 or 1), onto Hwy. 99 North, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway. Follow the directions to Whistler below.
