I missed seeing a Grizzly in the Canadian Rockies, and only got to meet him long dead.
Hwy 37A to Stewart and Hyder
We decided to take a short detour down highway 37A, when we learned that Grizzly frequented the Fish River to catch spawning Salmon coming up from the Pacific Ocean, adjacent to Misty Fjords National Monument. We arrived too early! Only 8 salmon had made the journey up to FIsh Creek thus far, and several days earlier, 3 grizzly came through, snatched the 8 salmon and retreated to wait for the coming deluge of fish.
BIG GLACIERS!
We met three German tourists who had spent several hours each day for three days to glimpse the Grizzly, without luck. We did not have that much stamina and waited only an hour before we headed up the rest of 37A to glimpse a glacier instead. Bear GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity. and Salmon GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity. did not disappoint. Salmon GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity., even in it retreat is massive and truly makes the spectator feel like they have come to the end of the world. Salmon GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity. is the 5th largest GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity. in the world!
