  My Bicycle Tours in British Columbia
Ironically, almost out of the mountains, one of the steepest hills encountered on a provincial highway was on the Lougheed (#7) near Agassiz: marked "11% for 2km" the 100m westward ascent of Mount Woodside (at least for the first 0.4km) is steeper—like Cayoosh Pass almost unbearable on a fully laden bicycle.
Heckman Pass, however, is the Mother-of-All highway ascents in British Columbia and the rest of Canada, at its steepest rising 900m in 9.7km.
Perhaps the quietest highway segment in the lower half of British Columbia is the #31 north of Meadow Creek.
