August 11, 2008







We are in Hyder, AK/Sewart, BC. This is supposed to be a great bear viewing place but as with many places in AK this year, the salmon are VERY late arriving. According to the Ranger, the salmon count on the creek was only 139 last Friday when there should have been 2,000/3,000. Soooooo, this makes for few bears. We have seen a couple of blacks fishing and eating berries but no grizzlies.

We went to the Salmon Glacier. It is the largest glacier in the area. Also some very pretty waterfalls. Of course it is raining again.....it just follows us!

OOPS!! Clicked on the wrong picture and can't get it off....that bear picture is from Valdez. Meant to send this picture of an eagle from here.
