Bears on the Move: Headed back to the U.S.A.

It's been a busy couple of weeks and again neglected to blog. We've seen lots of bears along the way from the Alaskan Highway to the Canadian border where we will head this morning. This is one of the mama bears we saw on the Cassiar with triplets. We couldn't catch all four at once! Then we saw another mama bear with twins.

I think our bear count is up to 44 now. This is one of the triplets.

We finally spotted this wolf along the Cassiar. It's an unusual sight to see and he stopped to take a look at us, too!

A famous restaurant in Hyder, Alaska. The halibut was outstanding. Robin Williams and Al Pacino hung around Hyder a few years back when they filmed Insomnia. We remember seeing it but will have to rent it again. I remember it being sort of strange.

One of many incredible campsites we've enjoyed. This one was in Stewart, BC and backed up to a cave. If our four grandsons had been here we would have to have put leashes on them. What a place to explore!

The Rearguard Falls where only the strongest salmon make it to spawn after an 800 mile trip upstream. This would be worth returning to when the salmon are actually there.

Athabasca Falls along the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Lake Louise. We were there 7 weeks ago when this was totally frozen. Bernardo commented then that it would be great to see after it thawed. Well, we did! I took video just to hear the sound of the pounding water down the falls.

Just to show what a parking lot looks like in this part of the world. I think that over 75% of the vehicles on the road are RVs of one sort or another.

Stewart, BC. This is on the border of Hyder, Alaska. We ate in a nice little restaurant across the street. The Inn is recommended in Frommer's.

This is part of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. The boardwalk was built so folks can watch the bears fish in Fish Creek in late summer. Another place we'll need to visit in the fall............
