We are planning a summer Canada trip from Bella Coola, BC to points East. Part of it is a steep hill with gravel - supposed to be quite scenic. Anyone here drive this road (Hwy 20) in the past?
I would recommend you do more research before this trip, this road is not for the faint of heart. There is one (short) pitch at 18%. Most of the steep section is between 10 and 11% (which is steeper then most US roads)
It is not unknown for people to sell their vehicle and fly out of Bella Coola.
I dono why Paul is saying the road to Port Hardy is an adventure, unless he is talking about takeing the ferry to get there, the Island Highway is fairly easy
