Although we hadn't planned to do so, we took a detour down to Stewart, BC/Hyder, AK, for the glacier and bear watching opportunities. We did see a couple hanging glaciers as well as Bear Glacier. Stewart has about 600 people living there mostly workers at the docks. Hyder has less than 100.
After talking to the lady who owns the Boundry Gallery and Fudge store in Hyder, we vetoed the trip up to Salmon Glacier. She said that she has been up there several times in all the years she has lived in Hyder and that it's really an all day trip as the road is very rough.
We returned to the Cassiers Highway (Rt. 37) and headed south to get on the Yellowhead Highway toward Prince George. We saw two black bears miles apart then a mama fox with junior running across the road in Vanderhoof. Mama made it to the other side, junior chickened out half way across and bolted back the way he had come.
