We've taken the 16 hour ferry from Port Hardy, BC to the remote community of Bella Coola. Nestled amongst towering trees and lush forests, we spend a week exploring Bella Coola with help of family friends Doug and Lori.
Watch as we explore the forests, observe grizzly bears and cross country ski all in the same day!
At the end of the trip, we tackle the infamous 'Hill' that connects Bella Coola to Williams Lake. With some help from Doug, we are confident putting on our snow chains and driving the van up the road. We couldn't be happier with the performance of the van on this steep road.
Have you been to Bella Coola before?
Thanks for watching!

in 1982 i drove down the hill with a 30 ft cabin cruiser on a trailer behind me. half way down my truck brakes failed. luckily a 4 by 4 came along. we tied it to the boat trailer and he lowered us down the rest of the way. cheers

It's been about 7 years since I was in Bella Coola. Absolutely LOVED it! It's a cute little place. This brings back great memories. I can't believe Brian drove The Hill in the winter! I was a little freaked out sitting in the back seat during the early summer. I can't imagine driving it in the winter. Props to you both.

Lived there for 8 years. Loved it. Planned on staying. Unfortunately, my employer decided elsewise.

I've been there 5 years ago...hitting The Hill was terrifying but it was worth it, since we saw the grizzlies, at last...😊
