Today was a planned day off from riding to allow us to catch up on rest and get laundry done. Dave and I got our's done early so we took a short ride back out on rt 37a, the only road into Hyder, to take some pictures of the scenery we past on the way in yesterday. Special points of interest along the way were Bear glacier and a couple of avalanche areas, one of which was posted no stopping year around due to the avalanche threat. You can see in the picture the snow load that is still piled up on top of the mountain.
John and Don told us about another glacier that was worth visiting the only problem was the 22 mile ride on a rough and very dusty dirt road to get there. Well we made the trip and were treated to a great view. By the time we made it back to Hyder we were (especially Dave as I was in the lead) covered in dust. It even crept into our saddle bags and trunks, what a mess to clean up! John and Don, who said they didn't want to go as they saw it on their last visit to Hyder, had a great laugh when they saw us drive up! Saw 2 black bear today and some salmon swimming up stream. 94 miles today.
