Stewart / Hyder

Stewart and Hyder are linked to the Stewart-Cassiar highway by the spectacular Bear Pass which cuts through the coastal mountain range with over twenty hanging glaciers visible from the road.

Visit the famous Bear Glacier, one of the few blue glaciers with the easiest access in the world.  Also, take a walk on one of the hiking trails that reveal the evidence of old gold and silver mines as they take one on a trip through the magnificent coastal forest, mountain streams and alpine meadows. 

Be sure to try the magnificent fishing in the numerous streams and lakes.  You can observe the spawning of the rare Alaskan Chum Salmon at Fish Creek in Hyder, AK.

Don't miss out on the spectacular drive from Stewart to Hyder that goes through the Salmon River valley right up to the old Granduc mine along the Berendon Glacier. Travellers are guaranteed to see the spectacular view of Salmon Glacier, it is the fifth largest glacier in the world (7 miles long).  If you are worried about driving this trip, don't be... take the tour!

Don't take your eyes off Stewart for a moment, you are sure to miss the natural beauty and wildlife that this area has to offer.
