That is a great road but I haven't driven it for about 10 years, must do it again in the M3. When I did drive it, twice actually - once each way, it was not in a fun car but a Jeep. The drive over to Merritt from Kelowna on the Coq is boring, but you can run at some better speeds (detector in car!!). A
full day trip from here would be to go south to Keremeos, then along Hiway 3 to Hope (a fun drive but watch for

), up the Fraser Canyon, over the Hiway 8 as in the article, and home to Kelowna on the Coq (boring but fast). It would be a very long day, but lots of differnt road types and scenery.
Another great drive using Kelowna as a base is Hiway 33 from east side of Kelowna, past Big White turnoff and all the way to Rock Creek. This a neat road with some open sections and some great twisties and little traffic. Can return by driving Hiway 3 west to Penticton (down Anarchist Pass - long, steep with hairpins) and back to Kelowna on 97. Can do this one in half a day. Watch for wildlife on 33.
