The speed limit is 110km/h, but you can safely cruise @ 120+. If cruising above this speed, you should keep a keen eye out for the RCMP !
This is a very scenic route that reaches altitudes of 1700m +. From now until the late spring, you should be prepared for some snow or snow showers on this route.

Ah ah, I took this same route only once in my life and did had a trip, first it was winter, second I was stuck in Richmond for two days because the #5 was close after some
3.5 meters of snow falls, anyway after the highway reopened it was for sure scenic but for different reasons, I would love to do these roads again but in summer this time...
