Moto: HyderSeek 2004: Glaciers
(back to HyderSeek 2004 main page)
I've lumped all of the glacier pictures together here.
Bear Glacier
This glacier is right next to Highway 37A on the ride in to Stewart and Hyder. It's hard to miss. We got lucky with the weather, so it was very photogenic.

Salmon Glacier
This glacier is up a much tougher road, but certainly worth the trip. There are many waterfalls and beautiful vistas on the way up to the glacier, making it a pleasant trip.
When I say a "much tougher road", I mean it is 20 miles up a gravel road. It's 2 lanes most of the way, turning to 1.5 lanes and then 1 lane near where snow was blocking the road. It could be done in a cage or a large touring motorcycle, but I'm certain it was much more fun on a dualsport. More about the road in the road to salmon glacier page.

Unknown Glacier
We're not sure if this is really a glacier, but a couple of things made us think it is. First, the snow makes a 90 degree turn towards us at the bottom of the ridge. It's packed in behind the ridge. Second, the collapsed section is a very icy blue color. It may not be a glacier, but I'm including it here anyhow.
