This Cassiar highway runs right along the base of the mountains do on your left to the west are fairly large mountains, but on the east is relatively open foothills. The highway is in excellent condition do far, surprising for getting so far North. They must have replaced it recently.
We turned west for our side trip and were rewarded with waterfalls and glaciers. The Bear Glacier comes down fairly close to the road.
Continuing on into Hedley we stopped for fish and chips at a vendor in a bus. We were warning it would be slow but it turned out to be really slow. About every 15 minutes a couple more people would get their food, so lunch took about 3 hours. There was another group of wingers there from the Surrey chapter so there was lots of socializing. The halibut was good, but I have to say the name seafood express is the worst name tis business could have as there is nothing express about it.
We continued on to Bell II Lodge, which is primarily a Heli-Ski operation. Very nice log cabins with big rooms and comfy beds, but a little on the pricy side.
