No Border Patrol !!!

A side trip was taken today, from our second day at the Meziadin Lake Prov Park, to Hyden AK, where there was NO American customs Office. This hamlet is direct across from Stewart BC with it's population of 350 ( and a Canada Customs office). The population of 71 in Hyden and no where to go once you where there likely explains that. Hyden is the most Southerly point in Alaska accessible by road. The intent was to drive to the Salmon Glacier about 20 miles from Hyden, but a combination of very rough gravel roads and snow blocked roads two miles from the glacier made the decision to turn around after about 3 miles. Where we turned, offered an elevated walk-way to view the bears feeding on Salmon, however they must have been full as there where no bears or Salmon to be seen. The top pic is of the Bear Glacier which feeds into Bear Lake which in turn produces Bear River. The bottom picture is of the remains of an avalanche. This particular area is prone to avalanches all year round.
