Boondocking in Hyder?
I'm working on our 2015 itinerary. We want to spend 1-2 days at Hyder (mid-August) to see the bears and do some local sightseeing (Salmon glacier). I've read that the best thing to do to see bears ...

Thanks for the reply and advice. For me getting to Alaska for my first time and being able to view Salmon Glacier (weather permitting) will be my highlights of a road trip from Spokane. I also will circle back thru Jasper/Banff in Aug.
The bear(?) glacier you pass along the way in to Stewart is pretty spectacular. you just don't get to see the icefield that powers it. try to time your visit for sunset or sunrise, so the lighting on the glacier is most dramatic. if you're going to Jasper, you'll pass by ice fields you can drive up to / touch ... or even walk on (illegally but hey)
