28 Hyder Alaska
If one wants to see grizzlies with a minimum of risk, Hyder Alaska is the place. This is just a little one horse town with a post office in a single-wide mobile home, one general store, streets so badly rutted and potholed that they are hardly passable, and is the only place we know of where one can enter the United States with no formalities whatsoever; no customs, no immigration, no nothing. Maybe cause there isn’t anything there that would be of interest to an illegal immigrant, spy, or sabatour. BUT there are grizzlies.





These salmon which came here to spawn are what attracts the grizzlies.

This is the viewing platform where the people are kept separate from the animals.

A transplanted German couple we met (George and Irmagard). His business brought them to Calgary Canada and they plan to stay there. Met them at Dyea and ran into them again at Hyder.
