This book opens up one of BC’s final frontiers. There are places far removed from the nearest road and relatively untouched by human development and industry. It is an area to preserve and to treasure.
Included in this dynamic area are a few relatively quiet highways that open up a lifetime of recreational fun. Highway 20 bisects the rolling plateau of the Chilcotin and provides a lifeline for the small communities out west. Names like Bella Coola and Alexis Creek might not mean much down south, but out here they are major centres. Branching from the highway are a few main arteries that lead past remote parks and lakes, eventually petering out near the mountains or major river crossings. This highway also takes visitors through the heart of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park into the lush Central Coast region. This beautiful region should not be missed. It is an area dominated by rugged terrain with towering, glacier-clad mountains forming an impressive background.
