West to Stewart
Beautiful, sunny, calm, morning at campground.
Drive from campground to Stewart is less than 40 miles. It is good road but all down hill and some narrow spots. We left late and took it easy.
About half way down is this:
Bear Glacier
These are everywhere:
Typical scenery on road to Stewart:
After setting up in nice RV park in Stewart, we headed west a couple of miles to Hyder. Back to Alaska.
Main street, Hyder, AK
At least 2/3 of the buildings in Hyder are closed. About 100 people call Hyder home.
Most popular of Hyder’s three eating establishments. Order at the door. Pick up at the window.
Hyder post office
Just outside Hyder is a salmon spawning creek.
This spot is VERY popular with bears and with people who want to watch the bears. They have built a boardwalk/viewing platform to keep people away from the bears and still watch them catch fish.
The salmon run has not started yet so seeing bears is iffy. We didn’t.
