Cassier Hwy Day 18: North to Alaska

June 29, 2008 - Watson Lake to Hyder, AK

Straight shot down the Cassier Hwy to the Stewart/Hyder spur and then to Hyder. Beautiful day, if a little on the cold side. The Cassier's not as good a road as the Al-Can, a little rough in spots and had a few dirt/gravel stretches. Nothing too bad though. Saw three bear, one right after I turned onto the Cassier and a couple more right on the road further down. Couldn't get a photo though, they dove into the bush as soon as I saw them.

The spur road into Stewart is a really nice stretch, the Bear Glacier is the highlight.

Stewart and Hyder are about 2 miles apart, on opposite sides of the border. Funky little towns, especially Hyder. Bunch of other riders at the hotel, the Sealaska, so spent the evening hanging out with some of them and swapping lies. :)

Dinner was at The Bus, the kitchen was actually in an old converted school bus. Some tables out front, a room in the back. I told you Hyder was funky. :)
