An American Is Road-Tripping Through BC & Locals Told Them To Avoid These Spots
"Snow don't scare me."
US Canada border in B.C. Right: B.C. mountains and highway.
Before taking an epic road trip through the Canadian mountains, an American turned to the B.C. Reddit page for some advice about where to go and what places to avoid at all costs.
The Redditor said they are planning a road trip from Washington to Vernon, B.C., at the end of November, so wanted to prepare for the wintery weather in the mountains.
The Americans claimed snow doesn't "scare" them but there's nothing quite like driving on those snowy mountain roads. Thankfully though, they asked locals about the roads they should avoid in harsh weather.
"Also, any local food recommendations along the route would be amazing," they added.
