Why not take the short cut from Clinton to Pavilion, past Kelly Lake and over Pavilion mountain. Great views! Nice gravel road with 12 and 18% grades. :)
There was a slide on 99 near Pavilion that required work

But if DriveBC doesn't give any warnings, but does have a web cam (Fountain Valley). This leg of 99 is relatively level, following rivers. Nice views.
12 to the south also has a persistent slide area, with warnings and narrow lanes. This leg is hot and dry, but again interesting views.

Take your time; there are interesting things to see.
Google Maps (and DriveBC) has streetviews.

Despite these narrow/rough spots, or may because of them, this area has a low density of fatal crashes.
