Descending the Bella Coola Hill, Easter weekend, 2010.

The romantic name for the last 65 km (40 mi) of Highway 20, the Freedom Highway, came about because of the amazing saga of how this section of road was built. The story dates back to before World War I when the residents of Bella Coola asked the government to build a road from their isolated community of Bella Coola to Anahim Lake. That request was denied, as were many more pleas over the next 30 years. Finally, in 1952, the exasperated citizens decided to build their own road.

  • you guys are a sweet couple and cute. As an American who traveled the road last year in summer I admire your guts, don't think I could do it with snow on the road.

    Like the head smashing scenario!
