Yesterday it was Totem Poles, today was glacier day as we drove a winding mountain road to Stewart BC, then on to Hyder, Alaska. Our final destination was the Salmon Glacier, the largest road accessible glacier in the world. The drive on a winding mountain road was spectacular and took us from BC into Alaska, then back into BC, back to Alaska, and tomorrow back into British Columbia - everyone got that straight? After we got to the overlook we found out the road only opened last week, lots of snow still around on this road to nowhere.

After a hard day we stopped for fish & chips at "The Bus" in Hyder. Fresh caught halibut cooked by a lady who knows how to cook it, Great!
