We modified our trip itinerary this week. Instead of coming back on the Marine Hwy which was expensive, we'll head south and take the Cassiar Hwy so we can stop in Hyder/Stewart and see the Salmon Glacier. Loved the pictures and would not want to miss it.
Thanks for all the good info everyone.
The Marine Highway was way more impressive than, The Top of The World Highway (mostly dead spruce trees after the entry to Alaska) and even Denali on a semi clear day. I believe skipping it would have been missing one of the best parts of the trip. Unless you have taken an Inner Passage cruise before. Even then it's not the same since the cruise ships, due to size, have to "go out" into the ocean, between stops. Where the ferries hug closer to the coast in narrower, shallower passages. Here's our
