I think THE best scenic stretch of road around here is taking the #4 highway from the west coast (just past Parksville), through Port Alberni to Tofino. The stretch from Port Alberni to Tofino is FULL of tight twisties and gorgeous scenery (lakes/mountain/old growth forests...etc). If you're lucky you'll even see a black bear or two. I saw one on the side of the road a few weeks ago on a surf trip
