Getting to the Bear Paw,
Colorado tells a Story -- "How I Found the Bear Paw."
The Bear Paw is in northern British Columbia, Canada, about 200 miles south of the Yukon. It is located 15 miles south of the Stikine River, and about 5 miles north of Iskut, British Columbia.
Fly to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and from there fly to Smithers, British Columbia. The Bear Paw Ranch Resort will pick you up in Smithers and drive you along the scenic Stewart-Cassiar Highway (37) to the Bear Paw.
Or you may schedule air service from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada directly to Dease Lake, British Columbia. The Bear Paw Ranch Resort will meet your plane and deliver you directly to your Bear Paw hosts.
There are 2 roads from the south to the Yukon, and on to Alaska.
1) The Alaska Highway built during WWII and
2) The Stewert-Cassiar Highway (37), first pushed through the wilderness in 1971.
The Bear Paw Ranch Resort is located 5 miles north of Iskut, British Columbia,
right off the Stewert-Cassiar Highway.
Both roads are for the most part paved, and quite acceptable for RV travel.
From Prince George, British Columbia, travel west and catch the Stewart-Cassiar Highway
going north at Kitwanga.
The spectacular Stewart-Cassiar is relaxing to city weary eyes.
You can fly to, and then rent a car in either Terrace, British Columbia or Whitehorse,
Yukon Territories.
From Terrace, British Columbia, travel east and catch the Stewart-Cassiar Highway
going north at Kitwanga.

For those wishing to stop at the Bear Paw on their way to Alaska
The Alaska Highway begins in the south in Prince George, British Columbia. However, a drive through the mountains is always more scenic and pleasant. Therefore, it is recommended you travel west from Prince George and catch the Stewart-Cassiar Highway going north at Kitwanga, continuing your drive to Alaska north of the Bear Paw, by picking up the Alaskan Highway in Watson Lake, Yukon Territories.
