Highway 16 - Smithers to literally the end of the road, Prince Rupert (222 miles)
The majority of today's drive followed the Skeena River.
The drive from Terrace, where we found a Denny's and so breakfast at 11:00, to Prince Rupert provided the best views of the last three days. The road in our direction was really quiet, we didn't have a car in front or behind us for the first 100 km!
Below is a view of the inlet at Prince Rupert with a Canadian Red Leafed Maple tree in the foreground....
Highway 16 literally finishes at the ferry terminal, just down from here.
Looking back into the inlet is the view we see (above) from our hotel window on the 6th Floor.
