Want to know what my own personal favorite route if I visited BC?  I would first start in Vancouver at Granville Island walking around enjoying the sights sounds and people.  There you can jet ski, boat, take water taxis, great dining and a nightclub or theatre production all at the inner harbor of Vancouver BC!  Catch downtown Vancouver with its tall skyscrapers and watch the float planes take off for Victoria.  Better Yet take a 2 day mini holiday and fly to Victoria and stay at their harbor!  Grouse mountain and Stanley Park is just a stone throw away for a quick drive through!    I would head to Whistler and its four season playground.  Next, get a taste of the old west, The Flying “U” ranch with it’s 100’s of acres of unsupervised horseback riding.  A horse lovers dream.  Barkerville’s old mining town atmosphere with their many actors would be a natural follow up.  You feel almost like there will be a gunfight down main street at any minute.  Then, onward to the tall mountains and lakes of Jasper and Banff.  Continue on to settle down in the Okanagan in Kelowna’s city park with all the water sports you can think of or Skaha Lake in Penticton with Wrights Beach camping for a more relaxing pace.
