We were up early today in hopes that an early-morning drive might award us with more animal sightings and were not disappointed. First, in the distance there was a mother moose with her calf, and then another moose very close to the road. During the day there were five bear cubs along the shoulder and ditch of the road, but we saw no mother bears.
They must have been hiding in the growth along the highway, as the cubs were too young to be on their own. We arrived in Stewart, British Columbia late in the afternoon. After setting up in a campground, we drove about 6 miles to Hyder, AK to a viewing site for bears. The National Forest Service has set up a protected boardwalk along a creek where both brown (grizzly) and black bears fish for salmon. There was only one brown bear in the water. We watched for an hour and then returned to the motorhome.
