Have a great time. It is a trip well worth doing.
If you are going fishing, there is nothing like fishing Salt Water.

We went last year and I fully intend to go again, as many times as I can manage.

I haven't traveled the route from Prince George to Banff in over forty years.
We use the northern route, through Dawson and the Pine Pass.

Like Wild&Free said, from Prince George to headwaters of the Skeena was not very exciting but past that it got good.
There is the falls where the natives catch Salmon and the lower Skeena canyon. We were told that about 30 miles out of Prince Rupert there are cliff the Mountain Goat use and they often come right down to the highway.
We had not trouble finding the cliffs but the weather was lousy so we didn't see any Goats.
I was also intrequed by the Alber Forests along the lower stretches of the canyon. I've never seen Alder that big. Watching the Harbor seals and the hundreds of Eagles in Cow Bay was cool. I just wish the sun had come out so I could have gotten some better photos.

One last thing, be sure to try the Dungeness Crabs, they are delicious!!
And that from a guy raised on Northern Alberta Moose. I could put all the seafood I've eaten in my life on one plate. LOL
