Cassiar Highway South.

In Yukon, at the beginning of our trip back to Ontario via Edmonton we decided to take a different route from Watson Lake. We went south on Hwy 37 (Cassiar Highway). This highway was recommended by several people and was stated to be a scenic route in northern British Columbia.

Here we go again with bumpy, wavy pavement, gravel sections, washboard, no shoulders, very few guard rails and steep descents and grades with many gravel and logging trucks using the highway. These road conditions lasted all the way to Jade City. This isn't exactly a city but rather 2 stores that sell Jade and other precious stones that have been mined in the Cassiar Mountain Range. The Jade mined here accounts for 75% of the world's supply.
The Jade is mined and shipped out to New Zealand and other places to be fashioned into many different products.
