Sterart, Yukon Territory and Hyder, Alaska.

We saw many glaciers and many beautiful waterfalls on our way to Stewart.

Just 3 miles from Stewart, YT, is an little town of Hyder, Alaska. It's famous for bear sightings on Fish Creek. It was said that 1/3 of all the bears in Alaska live in this area. The town itself is almost a ghost town, but we did see a nice little general store, but it was closed the day we went there.

This is Fish Creek. It's hard to see in this picture, but the creek was loaded with "pink" salmon spawning. The salmon have an interesting life cycle. They return from their life in the ocean, to spawn in fresh water where they were born. They soon die after they lay their eggs. It was kind of sad to see all these beautiful fish, knowing they were going to die soon. We had hoped to catch the bears feeding on the fish, but none came out this morning.

Here's the platform we stood to watch for bears. It was a cold and rainy day.

We didn't see any bears in Fish Creek, but spotted one along the roadside heading out.
