Highway 97 (the Hart Highway) leads to northern communities such as Dawson Creek, Whitehorse and Alaska, USA and to  northeast BC  and south to Cache Creek, connecting to southern BC communities including Kamloops, Kelowna and Vancouver.

Highway 16 leads northwest to Smithers, Terrace and Prince Rupert and eastern communities Mcbride, Jasper National Park and Edmonton, Alberta.  As many of communities activities are located just outside of town, car travel is recommended.
