Our trip to this wonderful journey begins by driving from Vancouver, Hope, Cashe Creek, Clinton, Williams Lake to Tweedsmuir  Park and Bella Coola, returning in the same route. the journey was 4 days and 3 nights long and about 20 hours driving by car each way, but it was worth it to stay in contact with nature, with very few villages, with a large area of ​​unspoiled nature but a magical and mysterious atmosphere to wander a memory experience to remember with the utmost respect for the environment. I have no other words to describe!

Unfortunately, there were many particularly large and destructive fires in this period.

Driving Highway 20, also known as the Hill, runs between Anahim Lake and Bella Coola and is very demanding to drive.

Distance: From Vancouver to Bella Coola is approximately 1000 km.
