OK, I lied!

I thought we were done with Alaska but we decided to head back to the coast to visit Stewart, BC snd Hyder, AK.  The scenery on the 38 miles we went out of our way for was well worth it.

We went to a bear watch area

Only a couple of salmon and no bears so we were disappointed

At one time Hyder and Stewart were busy little towns. Now they are like ghost towns; very sad

This building is the Orthodox Church

We stayed at the Bear River campground. It was nice

There are very different road signs in this area

Chain up area; they also have chain removal areas

And there are avalanche closure gates

We traveled a few hundred miles and stopped at Mountain View Rv park. We tried to stay in a free forest service campground but it looked like no one had been there in years. We were lucky that we were able to turn around and get out. The road was horrible. 

We left Mountain View the next morning after the owner moved a broken down rv out of the road, and drove to Beaumont Provential Park at Frasier Lake. Nice park but $22 for no hookups is a little high

It had a nice lake

And a historic roadhouse. There are a lot of roadhouses up here

Sweet dreams from Beaumont Park!
