We have finished the 855 km (531 miles) Smithers, B.C. to Watson Lake, Yukon, leg of our trip via the Cassiar Highway (highway 37).
We experienced quite a number of rain showers broken by sunny periods but that didn’t dampen the beauty of this route. It’s one of the most stunning that you will find anywhere. We at first paralleled the Central Mountains but after turning a few more degrees due north, we drove through them for about 600 km. (373 miles).
We didn’t stop to do much hiking or walking through this portion of our trip but there are many opportunities for that and of course, there are lots of places to camp or to stay at a lodge.
As long as you are aware of and cautious about bears, there are many, many outdoor activities to be enjoyed in this area of the country.
Here’s a rest area sign showing details of the Cassiar.
Happy Saturday.

That’s funny Allan, as we constantly kept mentioning that or similar to each other! Northern B.C. Is truly spectacular. It definitely sounds as though you are indeed happy to be home. I hope you were able to unwind at PLB though.

Stunning. I would have loved to have driven up there. Mountains are just so appealing (to look at, not to climb).
