Hyder, Alaska

Well I made it to Alaska, sort of. Hyder is an odd little town that can only be accessed through British Columbia or the Ocean. It doesn't even have a US border crossing station. But you do go through Canadian customs when you leave. The mountains around it loom over you. The pictures don't do justice. I have a rest day here, then on to the Yukon.
 A celebratory cigar.
 My accomodations. Basic but comfortable.
 Glacier on the road into Stewart BC.
 View out the front door of the motel.
And causeway to the port.

  1. That place looks amazing. Let me know if you come across any good backcountry skiing spots.

  2. Funny you should say that, when I was up at the Salmon Glacier overlook today someone pointed out that someone had been snowboarding nearby. Probably just a local taking advantage of some of the last snow that was an easy access from the road.
