Bear Glacier BC 502a1

The first side trip from the Cassiar Highway was out to Stewart, British Columbia. Getting to Stewart required passing a fairly small glacier (Bear glacier) that came down almost to the road (this picture). Stewart is on a fjord that leads to the Pacific and just west of Stewart is the very small town of Hyder, Alaska (adjacent pictures).

The fjord, Hyder, and Stewart were quite interesting and I ended up spending two nights there.

From 1994 San Francisco - Arctic Ocean camping trip. Scan of an older picture. Best viewed as part of the NW Canada set.
