Sweeping gracefully through the scenic Thompson Canyon,
this connector between DH40 and DH9 will have you wishing the
speed limit was 100 miles per hour (160 kmh) rather than the posted
100 kilometres per hour (60 mph). This road has little in common with
its tighter and more challenging neighbours. Often four lanes wide, the
smooth, broad pavement is an exhilarating mix of long and even longer
sweepers. Whether you’re freewheeling along the mountainsides high above
the Thompson River, or cruising low along its banks, the canyon scenery is
dry and dramatic. This is a fine, high-speed stretch of Canada’s national
highway-- a fact not lost on the Revenue Collecting Motorized Patrol.
