The drive form McBride to Prince George was spectacular. We saw a few bears along the way munching grass and berries alongside the hwy. One bear in particular was very cute as she kept standing on her hind legs. At one point she looked like she was playing an Air Guitar.
We stayed at Tyhee Lake Provincial park just outside of Smithers. Smithers is beautiful and a place that we would like to live.
We stopped in at the ‘Ksan village again and looked at the totem poles and Long Houses. We also stopped at Gitanyow and looked at the ancient totem poles there as well.
Once we got going on the Cassiar hwy, we were once again reminded why we love this place. Virgin forests and snow-capped (many glaciated) peaks are a hard thing to forget.
The weather has been a bit spotty, but today, we are in Hyder, Ak and find the sun shining. So we will drive up to the Salmon glacier, hoping to see some bears and a large river of ice. One thing… on our drive into Hyder, we had to dodge bear scat in the road. It was like walking through a heavily mined cow pasture. Fun stuff. We saw some wildlife, other than bears. At one point we saw a Porcupine dodge across the road and we got some really good footage of a beaver making a dam. The beaver seemed oblivious to our presence.

US-Canada border crossing from Stewart to Hyder, Ak.
Funny thing, there is no US border partol here. The only border guards are the Canadian police.
Unitl next time....
