05/09/19 –Hyder, Alaska, glaciers, Yukon Territory




We left the RV park and parked our motorhome in a lot beside the visitor center, where a sign said public parking. Then we took the Jeep and crossed the border in to Alaska, to the town of Hyder. It’s a small town, old, with a few businesses.

You can click on pictures to enlarge them.


We went to Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site, which in season is a $5 charge; it was free now. This is a popular spot during salmon season, as the bears come to the river for feeding.


From there we followed a road and kept driving until we got to an area that had a landslide or avalanche take out the road.


Back to British Columbia.



We headed back to Mezidian Junction and took highway 37 to the Yukon Territory, and then turned on to highway 1 where we stopped at a pullout for the evening. A camper from Iowa joined us for the evening.


Today we saw 2 moose, 1 bear and swans.


Bad roads


Lots of burned area, about 20 miles worth.
