Day 56 - Stewart, BC/Hyder, Alaska

August 2, 2011 - Stewart, BC/Hyder, AK
Day 56 by: Janice Crosson and Leslie Kilpatrick Rig #15
Today was a blessing, clear skies, low 70's--could not have been nicer.  Early out and breakfast in Stewart.


The salmon glacier was our next stop. This was really a different view of a glacier, looking down rather than up.

There is a road that goes pass the summit viewing area which takes you out to 3 more glaciers.



There were 3 marmots that crossed the road as we drove along. We had no idea what they were until we asked one of the construction workers.

There were falls and flowers to be seen also.


After a morning of photo taking we stopped in Hyder for ice cream.  Really felt like summer, warm weather, sunny skies and ice cream.
We have had a great time on this trip. So many nice people and lots of stories to tell when we get back . Our times together are running out, but most folks are ready to head back to a place called Home Sweet Home!!!
