Alaska Trip Day 24

We left our hotel in Stewart, BC and drove two miles through Hyder, Alaska on the Glacier road to Salmon Glacier. As soon as we crossed from BC into Alaska the road was gravel. We stopped at Fish Creek where we watched a bear eat 3 salmon and as we were leaving watched another bear go across the road in front of us carrying a salmon in his mouth. After driving a few more miles we were back in BC again. After 22 miles of washed out road we rated this road the worst of our bad road list and was scary enough for us to turn around at the toe of the glacier and not finish the other 3 miles to the top. We were glad to get back to Stewart and left there about 11:00 AM and are staying in Prince Rupert tonight. Our room is on the 9th floor and we can look out at the freighters in the bay from our balcony.
