Garibaldi Provincial Park

We plan to visit the Vancouver area in late April or early May. I
noticed that Garibaldi Provincial Park is not too far from the city.
We were thinking about it for either a day trip or even to stay in the
area.

Is this a good park to visit for the casual (non-hiking) visitor
traveling by car? On the Provincial Park website, there was a
statement that no motorized vehicles (like motorcycles or snowmobiles)
were permitted in the park. We didn't know if that meant that this
park was strictly a wilderness park and whether we would be able to
enjoy some of its scenic wonders from our rental car.

I appreciate your help.

The drive to Whistler is worth it for the scenery along the way.
