For the fastest route, take the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5) through the Cascade Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trans-Canada Highway takes about an hour longer, but is the most scenic route and is what we&#8217;ll be covering in this guide. The highway heads west out of Kamloops, then turns south at Cache Creek before continuing into the Fraser Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-are-the-road-conditions-between-whitehorse-and-dawson-city\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>How are the road conditions between Kamloops and Vancouver?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trans-Canada Highway is paved and well-maintained with clear signage, offering a smooth and comfortable drive from Kamloops to Vancouver.
