Hyder, Alaska - more bears
Day 2 in Hyder, Alaska - the two RV Gypsies were about to park to go to the viewing bridge, when they spotted a grizzly bear at the side of the road - this makes bear #3 in Hyder.

At the same time, bear #4 was walking across the street just a bit up the road. Actually, it may have been more than one bear. Not sure if the same bear crossed the road then went back again or if this was two different bears. Mostly, we were paying attention to the bear above that was closer to us.

Now the two RV Gypsies park their car in the upper parking lot. As Karen gets out of the car, she looks up and sees a grizzly bear heading toward the parking lot. Bear #5 in two days - not bad at all!

The grizzly bear stops to check out something on the ground, then heads right towards Karen, so she jumps back in the car. At first she kept the door open to take photos, but when the bear got closer, she closed the car door. The grizzly walked right beside the car, then into the trees, down the bank, and into the river. The two RV Gypsies then walked on the path in the parking lot, which was right above the river where the bear was walking. They followed the bear for quite awhile, aiming the camera down the bank to get fantastic photos of the bear.

Then the grizzly catches a fish and eats it. Karen got great photos and videos because she was standing directly above the bear.

The the grizzly continues its walk towards the viewing bridge where lots of people were waiting to see a bear. They had no clue that one was coming their way.

The grizzly catches another fish, but this time he just bites the fish's head off and walks away. Cruel! Better the fish, than me! LOL!

Alongside the stream, lots of partially eaten salmon lay on the banks. That means that fishing was good for the bears this year.

leaving Hyder
go to the next pageStewart, BC
Hyder Alaska and Stewart BC make the dividing line between Alaska and Canada. The two RV Gypsies camped in Stewart and drove across the border to see the bears in Hyder. You have already seen the bears, now see the campground and the new RV friends of the two RV Gypsies, then continue the journey of the two RV Gypsies as they leave Alaska and travel through Canada - and they encounter MORE BEARS, including a black bear. There was no security going from BC to Alaska here, but there was security going from Hyder to BC.
