Marine drive is awesome! Great for a leisurely Sunday cruise or midnight romp.
A friend of mine showed me the gold river highway on the island. Says its an amazing drive through the rain forest, follows rivers, waterfalls etc. and it's newly paved and rarely driven. Only problem as far as i can tell is GoldRiver (the town or outpost or whatever it is) is a dead end!
Campbell River, BC, Canada to Gold River, BC, Canada - Google Maps
Combine that bit with the old Island Highway and you've got yourself a very scenic and challenging drive.
Has anyone on the island done this route? Care to comment?
