We drove north on Hwy 97 to Williams Lake and took Hwy 20 towards Bella Coola. After 350 km, on Hwy 20 is the top of the pass. That's when we noticed the damage on the wheel of the camping trailer. We had the parts to do the repair and continued the trip downwards. The road descends for 1200 meters over a 15 km distance. The road is packed with gravel, no markings on the road and no guard rails. The Heckman Pass is mentioned on the Dangerous Roads website. Please refer to our Bella Coola travel journal for more information and links at http://www.stdi.com/stdi/home.nsf/ws/... The video is the complete descent with elevation tags every 100 meters from the unpaved part of the road. The next time we cross the pass, we will likely plan to go up from Bella Coola to Williams Lake. It is so much easier on the brakes.
