An Explorer's Guide to the Stewart-Cassiar Highway (BC Hwy 37)

At several points in the Gnat Pass area (between Km 458 and 468), the abandoned grade of BC Rail's Northern Extension can be accessed. It can variously be walked, biked, and even driven, for several miles in total. The project was halted in 1977 due primarily to massive cost over-runs. The photo was shot south of Gnat Pass - the highway can be seen to the right.
