It can be a total disaster, from having done it several times. The worst is that 140km stretch from Revelstoke to Golden where there is absolutely nothing in between and the traffic volume is far too great for that road. Make sure you have candles supplies etcetera in your vehichle because there is a chance you'll get stuck for a couple hours if there is an accident of some type. It doens't take much to block that road completely and there are no side roads detours to be had. I was lucky the last time I had to stop for a major accident because I was at the half way point where they have a gas station and hotel. At least I could go grab a coffee, and a paper and wait it out. Seriously that road is third world quality and an embarassment to our country.
