Pics from Stewart/Hyder

Good morning from Prince George, BC. This is one of ten bears we saw on our trip down the Cassiar highway to Stewart.

This lynx was just walking down the side of the road seemingly oblivious to us. It passed within a couple feet of the car and Barb could have reached out and petted it. She wouldn't do it though

We followed the lynx and was able to get this picture.

This is just one of the many canyons we saw on our side trip to Telegraph Creek.

Here's a picture of downtown Stewart. It's a small, but neat town. There are several businesses for sale and the town is not in very good health.

Across the border back into Alaska is the town of Hyder. Dirt streets and really run down buildings. Stewart may be dying, but Hyder is terminal. The only thing going for it is the bear viewing walkway run by the NPS. I didn't get 'Hyderized' because the saloon didn't look too inviting.

This swamp is typical of low lying areas. This was on our way to Salmon Glacier.

Just one of hundreds of waterfalls.

This is a rock slide on our route up to the glacier. It was not the only one.

This is the toe of the glacier where it deposits the rock and sediment as it retreats.

Is it something I said?

Barb's handywork.

Remains of recent avalanche activity.

Who did that?

This is high up on the glacier as it makes a turn from the icefield above.

Another waterfall.

This is the edge of the glacer that has calved.

And this is the valley the glacier has formed.


We're leaving shortly for Jasper and Lake Louise, about 350 miles from here. When we first visited Lake Louise on the trip up, it was frozen. I hope by now we can get pictures of it thawed. So till next time, take care, have fun and be safe.
