I lived it. I grew up on the highway in 70s and the 80s and lived in ft. Nelson. I worked on the highway in the summers while in high school. Some of the most scenic parts of the road are located north of Ft. Nelson…Steamboat Mountain, Summit Mountain, Toad River, Muncho Lake and Liard Hot Springs. The road now is dramatically different than back in the early 80s. Imagine the road when it was all gravel with twists and turns and ruts etc. almost of the road has now been straighten and it’s still quite curvy. it would take 4.5 hours to drive from Ft. Nelson to Fort St. John. Now imagine it at -40. Our kids’ hockey teams would travel that road in the winter. We once flew to Watson Lake for a tournament in Cassiar. We took a school bus from Watson Lake down the Cassier highway to Cassier in the middle of winter (roughly 125 miles) No traffic, no cell phones in the middle of winter -40. This bus could barely climb the hills.

I crossed North America starting from London, Ontario up to Anchorage, Alaska with my car Ford Sable in May of 1997 when I was a Korean student at UWO. A portion of (1/4?) Alaska Highway was not paved back then, and the road condition was barely OK to drive a long distance. However, the scenery was magnificent, which could not be compared with any place I have traveled ever during entire my life.
