Several years ago I did the locally known "The Hill" (both ways) on hwy 20 from Williams Lake to Bella Coola on BC's west coast. It's 20 miles long with one part being a well maintained 6 mile long gravel section of 18% with several sharp switchbacks. A road the Provincial Government of the early 1950's said was impossible to build, so the locals did it with two bulldozers. It's now Provincially funded and looked after, and buses and 18 wheelers are on it every day. Some of the more adventurous RV'ers can do a a tour from Port Hardy on Vancouver Islands north coast and go by ferry to Bella Coola and continue to Williams Lake and join hwy 97, which if you go north, takes you to Dawson Creek, mile 0 of the Alaska Hwy, or south to Cache Creek and join the Trans Canada Hwy south to Vancouver or points east clear across the county.
