Days 5-6: Hwy 37 and 37a to Hyder Alaska

once we hit highway 37a we saw a lot of wildlife.

The black shadow in the bushes is a bear. Hopefully we will have some better pictures of the bear when the rest of the film gets developed.

Below is Bear Glacier. It is on 37a heading into Stewart/Hyder

We made it to Alaska. The alsphalt road on the other hand did not.

We fell in love with Hyder anyway. This place was great. While in Hyder we stayed at the Grandview Hotel. is a good family hotel. We had no complaints about the room. You can contact the hotel at 250-636-9174

It is called the Seafood Express

I guess the roads are bad in winter.

While we were here we had to go to Salmon Glacier which is about 15 miles out of town on a gravel road. The road was still snowed in so we could only get so far up the mountian. We also had to get ready for the mosquitoes.

here is an old gold mine. I guess when they were done they got theirs and left the mess for us to enjoy.

Salmon Glacier

This was the road we drove up in the van. We ended up breaking a muffler bracket.

why did you take this picture ;-)

I guess the repelent did not work

Salmon River

the pictures of the girls on the dock was taken at about 9:45pm. The leaving Hyder picture was taken about 10:20 pm.

on to Prince George

Day 5-6-7
We picked up some pastries and muffins with coffee from a little shop in Hyder to get us on the road.
