I have traveled three times via car from Oregon to BC. If you have the time driving BC is an incredible adventure. To understand the sheer size of this beautiful province, you have to take the time to explore B.C. by auto.
The Cassiar in of itself is a fantastic drive. Remote and extremely scenic, one can see Grizzley bears right off the highway. The wildlife is wonderful and abundant. The Stewart-Hyder highway is stunning and you get up close and personal to Bear glacier, one of the only "drive-to" glaciers in the world. This is a remarkable feat and for those who can not hike this is an excellent opportunity to feel, see and experience glacier-ness. Stewart is a lovely town and overall I was quite pleased with the experience. Salmon Glacier is viewable on the Granduc Road drive ourside of Hyder, US. Hyder had nothing on Stewart, it is just a dump. August-September is a lovely time to explore this region with early fall color but be prepared for rain anytime and when it rains it pours.
Just a note from an American, I adore BC, Canada and Canadians. They are the nicest folks in the world. I am envious of their citizenship, frendliness, and their government that takes care of them from cradle to grave. Maybe someday the USA will be such a wonderful place.

On the large circle drive around BC last summer we were lucky to land in a very special place. I do not want to say where that is. Suffice to say it is on the coast. To some one from Colorado it was coming home to a better place where I would not be baked by the sun.

The towns of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, AK
share an international border and are a study
in contrasts. Stewart is a tidy Canadian town
surrounded by magnificent scenery. The near ghost town of Hyder shares the same incredible scenery but has a decidedly rowdy Alaskan flair to it. These towns are undiscovered treasures not overrun by cruise ship - tour bus tourists. The intrepid traveler can experience majestic scenery and interesting local culture without being a part of the tourist hubbub of more visited locales such as Prince Rupert or Juneau. The area's scenery rivals the Inside Passage and yet its visitor count is not high. The Stewart Highway is a must drive for visitors to NW B.C.
