Cassiar Highway, Hwy 37 in Northern British Columbia
starting at Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway) in B.C.

The Cassiar Highway is about 450 miles long. The Cassiar route from Prince George to Whitehorse is about 210 km (130 miles) shorter than the Alaska Highway route from Prince George to Whitehorse.

In 2007, we drove north on the Cassiar and returned on the Alaska Highway. While overnighting south of Fort Nelson we decided the Cassiar Highway would be our preferred route on future trips.

In 2008 and 2009, we travelled north and south on the Cassiar. The scenery is better southbound, even though it is all the same trees and mountains.

In 2010 we went north on the Alaska Highway and returned south on the Cassiar.

See my page Highway 37A for pictures from Meziadin Junction to Stewart, Hyder, Fish Creek and Salmon Glacier.

Meziadin Lake provincial park is near where Hwy 37 and Hwy 37A meet.

Highway 37A is a very scenic route that leads to Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, Alaska.
Salmon Glacier is beyond Hyder and worth the drive to see it.

The campground at Meziadin Lake Provincial Park has many waterfront spots as well as numerous sites with water views.
