I have been up here a half dozen times now and love going there. My wife and I and AZR and his wife went up with John and his wife June that we know from a classic BC bike forum. We had great weather (high of 28) and traffic was good. Gold River is about 90kms from Campbell River. Almost 400kms form Victoria for us. There is not much in GR but salmon fishing, some of the best in the world.
