The Stewart-Cassier Highway (Rt 37)
\nAs we thought about driving to Alaska (the first thing was\u2026holy crap\u2026we are driving to Alaska!) the question of which route came up. We were sitting in the \u2018Sound of Music Meadow\u2019 dispersed campsite (an amazing little spot way up in the hills) in Montana pouring over the maps. The AlCan (Alaskan Highway) would have been the obvious choice. But wait, what’s this little route over to the west? Route 37? The Stewart-Cassier Highway? Never heard of it, lightly used, long stretches through the mountains, perfect!<\/p>\n

As soon as we hit The Stewart-Cassier it felt right. We found a little city park and several BC campgrounds (all free). Glaciers, the mountains, the great bear scare!, more mountains, more glaciers, wolves, bears, lynx, totems, no traffic, no guardrails, no cell service, 470 miles of awesome!<\/p>\n

We did end up hitting the AlCan; all of 14 miles from Rt. 37 to Watson Lake!<\/p>\n
