We continued on down the Cassiar and we are going into high mountains, deep valleys and glacier country. Some scenes from the road:
We left the Cassiar and headed to Stewart, B.C. / Hyder, AK. Spectacular scenery!! This is Bear Glacier:
We are staying at Bear Paw RV Park in Stewart, B.C. – full hookups – we are going to get spoiled – LOL!!!
After setting up we took a drive around Stewart and then Hyder:
What is interesting is that there are no customs going over to AK but a small Canadian customs on the way back. There are about 70 year round residents in Hyder and this is the only way in when driving.
Hyder is famous for its bear viewing. Here is Fish Creek. On the right hand side is the walkway. The ranger station is at one end and there is an escape area at the other – just in case the bears come onto the walkway. There is also a big sign that says to stay in your car when the station is not open – Oh my!
Here is the lake behind Fish Creek – how about that water color:
And we rewarded – :-))). According to the ranger, this is a female bear about 6-7 years old named Mira (yes, they name their bears!):
We watched her for quite a while from the walkway until she went under the bridge. It was really neat watching her catch the salmon. Sometimes she caught one and sometimes not..
We are staying another day here and hope to get to Salmon Glacier tomorrow so stay tuned.
