Hyder and the Glacier

Hyder,
The last time we were in Hyder we did not give this place a thorough enough look see. Last time we thought that it was just a bar and one gift shop. Not so.
You go thru town and down the road and come after 5 miles to the Salmon Creek Bear Viewing site. A long boardwalk on the Salmon Creek set up for viewing both black and Grizzley bears that come to feed on the salmon in the creek. We went early in the morning but not early enough, all we saw was a wolf and he was gone too quickly for me to photograph him.
We did travel along a dirt road for about 20-25 more miles and saw some absolutely outstanding scenery. Picture yourself high on a mountain edge looking down 2000 feet to the glacial river at the bottom and it’s a gravel and dirt narrow road with areas of snow on one side of the road and a shear drop off on the other. Up ahead you spot salmon Glacier with its long arm and foot ant the bottom and a glacial lake on the other side of it. You are high on the mountain looking across at the glacier and there are few if any people there. Ah inspiring!
We went down the road some more and spotted an old copper mine entrance and did not venture in. Now I wish we had I understand the old rail lines and rail cars are still in there. After that we spotted some marmots (small like mink or otters) and after that we came upon Marmot Glacier. Not as spectacular as Salmon Glacier but still a great sight for a day of just hanging around the town of Hyder.
