Salmon Glacier ends in Salmon River. Summit Lake sits at the top of Salmon Glacier. Every year in mid July the lake breaks an ice-dam that contains it and then flows under the Salmon Glacier into the
Salmon River. It brings a rise of 4-5 feet of water to the river for several days
The sign reads "Leaving Hyder - The friendliest ghost town in Alaska!". That is the Canada Customs office in the background.
Canada Customs. The nervous guard had me empty one of my cases to retrieve my bear spray. To "verify" it was indeed bear spray and not OC spray. Its funny that standard pepper spray is considered a weapon, yet a big can of bear spray is perfectly OK to carry.
Ships can sail up the channel to Stewart. It's Canada's most northern ice free port.
One of the many waterfalls along the highway.
One last view of Bear Glacier on highway 37A.
This trucks load did not look to secure.
