Looking for bear

That was our first stop this morning. We waited around for 30 minutes and left without a sighting. Next we drove 17 miles up a dirt road to get a view of a glacier. We were above it looking down. The views were really spectacular. We will send pics at a later date. We hiked around in the tundra for a while and then headed back. After lunch in Hyder we drove back to see if any bears had showed up. Nope. We then took a hike up into the Tongass national forest to have a look at the ginormous old growth Sitka Spruce trees. The hike could have been through the set of one of "The Lord of The Rings" movies. On our way back to the MP, right across from the bear viewing area, we almost ran over a black bear. Figures.

  1. Black bear! Thought they had grizzlies up north! Not sure which is worse, but the brown bear I think are more dangerous . Having a fish fry tonight. Paula, might have mon's house sold, of course, nothing signed on dotted line yet!
