Black bears and Canadian Wilderness

We woke up to a beautiful clear morning, so decided to head back to Hyder, to go and look at Salmon Glacier - and I'm glad we did, a great ride up, and an amazing glacier;






At the top of Salmon glacier, we met up with some ATV riders, who mentioned that there were some mines further down the trail, so we continued;






Once back from the glacier, it was back onto the highway - fab scenery, and remote as.
Spot the gas station, with the helicopter in the back ground - I guess this is Canada...

Riding along the highway (gravel road), we came across a slighty surprisd black bear, who, on noticing us, stumbled into the bushes in attempt to get away from us ;-) No chance to get the camera out unfortunately :-(
Before arriving at Dease Lake, a quick stop at a nearby lake - which seemingly was cold;



So, let's see what tomorrow brings - hopefully more bears :-)
