Hwy 3 is a really nice drive, and usually not that busy. If I were leaving from Calgary headed to the southern interior or coast during the peak of summer, Hwy 3 would be a fun, scenic lower stress alternative to the TCH
I still think Hwy 6 is one of the best drives in BC

I've done the TCH drive through all four seasons (even in the winter but with snow tires on) to Calgary from Vancouver and have never found it a particularly dangerous drive either, even at some of the supposedly more trecherous isolated passes. Just stay awake and try to do it in the daytime.
