Nice roads in Western Canada

So I was watching this video and I was dreaming to drive somewhere as nice as this place

I have driven to waterton and vancouver and I definitely enjoyed the road. Also in Vancouver I drove to British Properties and it was gorgeous too. So I am wondering if you guys can suggest any nice road for drive in AB or BC or somewhere close?

Go south from Calgary on Hwy 22 then head west on the TCH/Crowsnest HWY through the Crowsnest Pass. Head east back to Calgary through Cranbrook, Banff, and Canmore.

That would be a good drive and would take about 12 Hrs. Lots of nice hotels to stay at along the way!

lots of nice drive in BC, but the best road i've ever been on is called cascade highway in WA, it goes from south of the Okanagan to Seattle. That road was designed for the m3

since you're in Calgary, head south and then back towards Bragg Creek...
i remember having some fun there with an old, engine-swapped 240z and a sports bike 2 years ago... fun times
Hwy 549 / 762 looks like a lot of fun on Google Maps, i cant remember exactly which way we went...
for a longer trip, definitely head towards BC through the mountains...

+1 on Alberta -> BC roads...

On my visit last summer, I can't even count the amount of times where I wished I had my car there..

I don't remember where it was, but the route to this glacier was just AMAZING!

There is the old lake road between Vernon and Kelowna in the interior. I had my car out there last summer and this was a great little drive...all the way along Lake Okanagan on the quiet side of the lake!!
