Thanks very helpful. The road does haven image that looks darn too. It’s. Not for the faint of heart. Keep up the great work love the drone shots too.

Did a group motorcycle ride a few years back. It is important to check the spring schedule as they plow and spray the road to "re-surface" it. The truck driver said be careful as it is "slippery as snot". On a motorcycle it was intense.

Awesome footage Wes! I have always loved the rush of driving the Bella Coola hill!

[@dtocher]

Excellent video. Thanks for doing it. I'm contemplating doing it on my full dresser touring bike. Those two corners will be interesting.

Thanks. I thought most of it was paved. Glad you mentioned that at the end. Can't wait to see the Ocean.

That steep drop-off next to the road is actually Young Creek Canyon.

Realistically, how long from Bella Coola to Williams Lake? Time wise.

It’s five hours towing my boat, might getter done a little quicker not towing.

Interesting video. Any idea of why there are no guardrails?

[@wesseufert5028]

@@ryhinton thank you, there is a couple spots that have cement barricades but for the most part there is none due to the continual sloughing and movement of the hill, it the same idea why it’s not paved as the hillside is always moving

[@ryhinton]

​@@wesseufert5028Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

That first turn at the top use to be a nineteen percent grade.
