| SHOP FRONT IN HYDER, ALASKA |
About 6 pm most of us carpooled to Fish Creek Wildlife Viewing Area which is 3 miles north of Hyder, Alaska; Hyder is next door (but across the border) from Stewart. These towns are located at the head of Portland Canal, a narrow fjord about 90 miles in length. Stewart boasts of being Canada’s most northerly ice-free port.
Fish Creek,
operated by the U.S. Forest Service, has a raised boardwalk for viewing the
bears (both grizzly and black) as they fish for salmon in the shallow waters of
the creek. What a treat! We saw many
salmon in the crystal clear water; then we saw two bears at separate times as
they rustled in the bushes, splashed in the water, walked along the creek and
“hunted” for salmon.

On our way back from Hyder to Stuart we passed the Grand Yacht Club of Stuart.
CHECKOUT THIS YACHT CLUB
Well our wonderful trip is almost over. Tomorrow is Day 59 of our 60 day Caravan. We will be driving to Smithers, BC some 205 miles away. We have had a wonderful time and hate to see it end.
