Heading South to Stewart/Hyder

After taking Amy to the Anchorage airport to fly home, Al and I headed for Haines. We planned to see Haines and then take the Cassiar Hwy south with a side trip to Stewart and Hyder, then continue on home.

As we crossed into Yukon from Alaska we got snow. This is near Destruction Bay, Kluane Lake, Yukon.

Swans near the road going in to Haines.

A geocache we did just outside Haines. Logbook was inside the booth. One of the most unusual geocaches we stopped to do on the trip. After Haines we made our way down to the Cassiar Hwy which would take us back to the US by a different route than we had taken to the north.

Bear Glacier on the road into Stewart, BC. Weather on the Cassiar Hwy going south was pretty bad with rain and clouds making it impossible to enjoy the scenery. But, we still made our planned side trip into Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK to visit Fish Creek and the famous bear feeding area.

Looking down from the walkway to the bear feeding areas along Fish Creek. There were no fish, no bears, only evidence that they had been there.

Salmon Glacier, near Hyder was pretty impressive, but the low clouds made picture taking difficult. From here we headed back to the Cassiar Hwy and south to Prince George.
