Traveling through BC wildfire area

We are scheduled to drive from Prince Rupert to Prince George to Cache Creek to Whistler to Victoria next week and have campsites at each of those towns. I'm looking for responses from anyone that has driven through these areas within the last week and wondering if we should just try to take the ferry from Prince Rupert to Vancouver Island instead. The wildfire reports look bad and not getting any better. Anyone traveling through these areas and could share their experiences would help us determine our plan of travel.

  • Here is the link you should be looking at for updated Hwy reports

    Also you should be posting in the Canada / Alaska forum for info on Canada.
    You may have trouble getting a ferry south from Rupert this time of year. However as of right now you can take Hwy 97 south to 100 Mile House then 24 east , then 5 South
    Good luck.
