Here we come Stewart-Cassiar Highway.  So bring on the scenery;-)

First up is the Glacier Highway 37A to Stewart – Canada’s most northerly ice-free port – and Hyder, Alaska – the friendliest little ghost town in Alaska.  One must head over Bear Pass in this coastal mountain range with over 20 hanging glaciers visible from the road.  And what beautiful sights they provide – –

 

The whole point of coming to Hyder is to visit the US Forest Service built viewing area to watch grizzly and black bears feed on salmon.  The good news this visit is the salmon just arrived!  The bad news is the salmon JUST arrived and the word had not spread to the bears;-(  So – the salmon and beavers provided the show – –

 

Back to the Stewart-Cassair Highway to a stopping off point for a night – Mountain Shadow RV Park, a very nice park in the middle of no where near Iskut.  On the way – more bridges;-)

 

There is not much along this stretch of road – except beautiful scenery!  No other civilization as we are now in the Yukon Territory – an area about the size of 1 and a half California’s with a population of the greater Park City area!!!  There are great overnight spots, though.  Especially Cottonwood RV Park – –

 

One night stays are on the calendar for this stretch of road – so off again.  At least we got some bear sightings (as there is NO phone or internet coverage for 4 days now!!)

 

FINALLY!!  Alaska here we are.  Tok was ‘home’ for a couple of nights so we could take a day to drive to the infamous Chicken, Alaska.  What a kick – –

 

What a week!  The moose and grizzlies finally decided to show themselves, we stayed at a couple of RV parks with beautiful views and really fun entertainment and now we are FINALLY in Alaska and have internet and phone connections again!!  Thus – a blog posting;-)

E & G – Ready for what Alaska will bring
