After finding several more statues of bears in Smithers, we finally found out that the best bear viewing area was the Babine River about two hours away via dirt road. Decided those bears weren't worth the trouble especially after an outfitter told us people weren't seeing as many bears this year for some reason. So we headed down the road to Prince George. Stayed the night there and today we should be in Jasper. It's only about 250 miles away. Could be in GNP in two days, but it may take a couple more days depending on what we find in the Canadian national parks. Here's a pretty good picture of the Salmon Glacier near Hyder:
Remember that you can click on it for a larger view. Sign said this is the 5th largest glacier in North America. Kind of amazing that you get to it on a dirt road that has no signs telling you where you are headed. There are some interpretive signs near the glacier an that's it. We saw maybe half a dozen other sightseers along the 15 or so miles up to the glacier.
Striker will add Alberta to his list today. So far he has breezed through Candian customs 5 times and American customs once. Shoutout to Casey, Rusty & Mac.
