Let me tell you, I was praying that we would not lose our brakes going down, and God answered our prayers we made it to the bottom okay. This road is one of the steepest in BC's road system. It was a former logging road in that 40 mile section and was steep and narrow with lots of hairpin curves.
We should have read that part of the info before we drove it. We think we learned a lesson here.
But we saw the most spectacular and majestic mountains that I think we have ever seen. I would love to go back over the road with just the truck. I did get lots of pics, but was disappointed with them as they they just don't show the ruggedness and how awesome the mountains were.
We did find a provincial park that we are camped in for tonight and we will stay here tomorrow too, it is a really nice spot. We need some relaxation time after our exciting trip!
There is a MacDonald's in this little town of Pemberton so we are using their Wi-fi to send post this.
The road we were on. The road going up and to the right goes into the town of Lilllooet
You can see the road up and to the left.

Here is where we sat for a 1 1/2 hrs cooling down the brakes, the steep road straight ahead is a run away truck ramp The hwy makes a sharp left.
