Why 99 Whistler to Hwy 97 Canada

I'm just trying to find out how the road is when using Hwy 99 north out of Whistler to Hwy 97 North. I have a 40FT MH with Toad.

Thanks in advance

I have driven that route many times in a 1/2ton and occasionally towing a car trailer. There are many steep grades( 13-15% )and very sharp turns. Basically it is a narrow two lane switchback road. Going that direction you will encounter a steep decline to a very sharp U-shaped turn half way to the bottom. It will be tight for you. Another thing you need to find out is the height restriction of a one lane bridge about halfway into your trip. It is very low and you would need to find out before starting out or you will be hooped. Turning around would be a real problem in that area if you can't make it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the height restriction. Between Pemberton and Lillooet, it is very slow going with a car or truck because of all the sharp turns, climbs and descents and the aboriginal land speed limit just past Pemberton.

In my opinion, I would not attempt this route with your setup. I seriously can't stress this enough. I honestly don't think you would make some of the turns involved. My wife gasped when she asked what I was typing and I mentioned your setup.

If you're interested in seeing and going this way, I would suggest park the MH in Kamloops or Cache Creek using the Coquihalla # 5 Hwy to get there. Then use your toad to backtrack, sightsee and overnight in Whistler or Pemberton. Kamloops to Whistler is about a 4.5-5 hour drive plus stops. Approx 180 miles only so you can see how slow going it is, in just a car

Let me know if you need any other info.
