Top places to visit

1. 4.5 Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site (141 reviews)
   - We saw bear fishing for salmon!
   Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   My husband and I have visited Stewart and Hyder many times over the years. We watched this viewpoint go from just people standing along the creek to seeing the whole viewing platforms and boardwalks being built. We often spoke with the bear man famous for the books he's written about the bears of Stewart and Hyder. On one occasion, when my friend from Taiwan was with us, we saw bear fishing for salmon. First we saw black bear, then the grizzley appeared, jumped in the creek, totally missed his salmon, settled for one already dead along the bank of the creek, and made off with his meal through the bushes. Magnificent! In all our return trips, we've never seen anything close to that. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Salmon Glacier (127 reviews)
   - A breathtaking sight at the end of a demanding drive
   Geologic Formations
   
   
   It's an hour-long drive over a potholed and dusty road with spectacular views for everyone but the white-knuckled driver striving to stay on the road while avoiding loose rocks and downed trees. The glacier itself is awesome . . . but there's not a lot going on, so after fifteen minutes and posing for snaps and slapping mosquitoes, it's time to head back. Worth doing, particularly on a sunny day. See more..

   Amazing little place, it is stuck in a time vortex. Amazing to see no one there, no US border security at all. Taking photos around the area, just awesome. See more..
