Today we drove back to Fish Creek to visit the bears again. While there I got to talking with one of the professional photographers. There is a group of them who spend much of their summer trying to get the best shots of the wildlife there. Not just bears visit the fish, but birds and wolves and more.
He recommended a place to eat in Hyder. The family who own the restaurant fish for the halibut in the fjord, process it and run the restaurant out of an old bus. It was the freshest fish!
We also drove the road to the Salmon Glacier. The sign should have given us a hint as to what to expect.
We made it though, as the road was probably not any worse than the Top of the World Highway. When we told the customs agent at the border where we had been he said, "You drove up there in that ?" in a rather incredulous tone of voice. But the glacier was impressive! It covered an immense area! I am frustrated that photos just do not capture the grandeur of what we are seeing. We need a 3d camera to do justice to this area.
We found the marker for the international border at the edge of Hyder. I am not sure how many times we have crossed in and out of Canada, but we have a few more to go.
Thanks, sis, for the on-going adventure tale and pics.
