Pick Up Services
If you would like me pick you up in any of the three departure points please contact me. The cost for pick up and return is $500 plus fuel and meal expenses (about $200-250). The preferred pick up point is Terrace as I have family there so no accommodation costs. I have a crew cab pickup truck with seating for 5 plus the driver.
NOTE: Highway 37 had been upgraded a number of years ago and is paved or seal coated from the junction with Highway 16 to Dease Lake except for a few kilometers along the Stikine River hill. The highway has been taking a beating from the heavy traffic and this spring (2021) has a number of sections that are breaking up from the traffic and frost heaves and is in need of repair in a number of spots. Drive with caution and be aware of pot holes, broken up pavement/seal coating, and wildlife.
