Salmon Glacier

We drove up to the summit of the Salmon Glacier today.  The road between Stewart and the top is gravel and rough in spots - particularly where it is maintained by Alaska rather than BC.  Along the way we saw a marmot but no bears.  We stopped at Fish Creek but the Chum are not running yet, so no bears there either.

The glacier is breathtakingly beautiful.  And we heard it as well.  That cracking and groaning echoing all over is an awesome sound.

The person selling postcards at the rest area at the summit of the Glacier lives in New Brunswick in the winter and summers at the Glacier.  He lives at the the rest area in a little wee tent and only goes into town once a week.  Not bad on a day like today and he says it only gets down to around 10 Celsius at night. . .but still, not for me.

We had no problems coming back into Canada (we remembered from last time that it is easier with your passport).  Now Paul has to look at the many pictures and find the best ones.  I like this one to start.
