The ferry from Rupert will take you to Port Hardy on Vancouver Is. Normally on the southern ferries you won't need a reservation. Bikes go down a separate lane and are first on first off. But don't be late or you'll go on last. I will call BC ferries this morning about Rupert, but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

OK< back to this question, please....
Dirt and gravel roads in Northern part of BC, are they mostly OK on street tires? Mostly rock or mostly mud? Need something a little more aggressive than a smooth road tire? Do the roads tend to be smooth or rocky and rough? The bike is very capable off road but going two up and loaded anything too rough will suck. I will need tires by the time I leave Seattle, should I go with Dual Sport type tires? Tyres?
Has anyone ridden on the non paved roads in this area?
Thanks!

Tom,
I did the Cassiar a few years back and you'll love it. BC is beautiful country and one of my favorite parts of Canada. Take good rain gear with you as it will most likely rain this time of the year and watch out for landslides as they are common on Cassiar. Gas stations are plenty but fill up at every station specially if the tank is small.
Here's the post from when i was up there:
