Dancing with the Bears
Our side trip this time went beyond what we thought we would see.. We did see a nice grizz sow doing her version of fishing...I got a lot of it on film...The road going into Hyder and Stewart was above the 10 scale...of "ALL" the mountains we have seen, these were supreme...better than Glacier Park in Montana many times over...Dont know why we dont hear more about them...We have seen some actual darkness the last five nights, but last night it was dark "all" night,,,,I was scared...I think I saw the boogey man....We are now down in BC where its hot and will be rolling into Bend friday afternoon......More tidbits to follow...I am dog tired after getting no sleep cause of the boogey man...
South to Alaska
Our southern return route took us on the Cassiar Highway. There is a side road off the Highway that goes to Stewart B.C. and into Hyder, Alaska....the only town in southeastern Alaska that can be driven to. For those familiar with Alaska, it is on the other side of the mountain from Ketchikan. Some views along the amazing road.....
Being a cinnamon roll freak, I had to stop at a lodge advertising "world famous cinnamon rolls"...here is what is left after 3 meals....it weighed about 3 pounds....but probably added 6 to me!
In Hyder is Fish Creek, where there is a viewing platform where people can go to watch the bears catching spawning salmon. We made a brief stop there, and were lucky to be in a good viewing spot to catch some action. At the end of the photos is a short video I shot.....
Downtown Stewart B.C.
One of 20 glaciers along the road to Stewart. This one is famous for being so blue.
And the bear video.....
