The only road that goes in and out of Stewart, British Columbia, follows the cliffs and coast to Hyder and dead ends there. Hyder once had about 15,000 people but now has about 100, during the summer. There are more deserted, dilapidated buildings than inhabited ones. It is difficult to determine which ones are inhabited and which ones aren't. Photo 1 shows main street toward Stewart through customs at the far end, from "downtown". To say it has dirt streets is an understament, with weeds and brush roadside and filling yards. There are some unique homes here and as always, there's the post office. Their claim to fame and existence is the bear observation area along Fish Creek and Salmon Creek glacier. Ken is checking out the huge salmon along the bridge of Fish Creek. The other side of the bridge is where the bear observation platforms are.
