I'm planning a potential trip from Victoria to Port Renfrew along the W. Coast Rd, then north up to Lake Cowichan along the Pacific Marine Rd, then continuing up to Nanaimo, then continuing west and picking up Hwy 4 (Alberni Hwy) to the ultimate goal of the Pacific Rim Hwy past Sproat Lake and down to Ucluelet.

Does anyone know the current road conditions and if there are any closures? In particular, has anyone recently been on the Pacific Marine Rd between Port Refrew and Lake Cowichan or the Pacific Rim Hwy between Sproat Lake and Ucluelet?

Should be good all the way,the road west of Sooke to Port Renfrew is in decent shape with a few new sections.The trail from Renfrew to Lake Cowichan can be a bit rough in spots,logging trucks will give you no mercy and be sure to tank up and bring water and snacks,there is absolutely nothing but scenery in between.Check out the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit website to see if anything is going on,then head over to the east coast of the Island to Cowichan Bay,Chemainus,Saltair and take the old coastal highway north as much as possible.The road past Port Alberni is very narrow,twisty and treacherous in spots mostly because of the oblivious dumb *** tourists in rental cars and motorhomes,if you are looking for a place to stay in Tofino,check out my friend's little place,Cable Cove Inn,they will gladly give a current update on local conditions and the drive out to the west coast.
