One of the best lookouts is at Seton Lake, near Lillooet. It is a great pit stop on a road trip, and the entire trek is shorter than an episode on Netflix.
From the mountain viewpoint, you'll get to see a "u" shaped road and orange trees that pop in contrast to the turquoise water.
But for a super flat route, head to Yale's Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park. The walk is just as short, but here it is a flat path that takes you over a bridge.
The gorgeous architecture contrasted against the colourful branches makes it nearly impossible to take a bad photograph. The journey is so simple; you won't even spill your coffee.
