If you don’t have confidence in the weather allowing you to do the coastal route then the safer way would be inland as MLH described. Prince George is also a good option for stopping for fuel and support. Yellowhead Helicopters is a good operator based there and would be likely to help you if you were in a bind. I used to work for them and enjoyed my time with them…
IF you can do the coastal route do it. It would be spectacular. I haven’t done it personally but I would if the opportunity presented itself…
Prince Rupert is a nice town (when the weather is good) and if Breakers is still in business it serves highly serviceable bar food and beer. Go to Seal Cove rather than the
PR airport…
