The Liard Highway (designated Highway 77 in British Columbia and Highway 7 in the Northwest Territories) is a 378 km two-lane highway in Canada that is the only direct road link between British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Passing through sparsely populated areas of boreal forest, it serves as the sole land access route for the communities of Fort Liard and Nahanni Butte.
