Today was a much nicer day, and the sun was shining. We headed towards highway 37 which takes us to Alaska. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the way we stopped at a historic town of Hazelton which was beside the river. Nobody was around, it was like a ghost town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further along the road we turned off to see some Native American totem poles, which look very similar to the M\u0101ori ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We saw a black bear feeding on the side of the road, but he took off when he saw us showing him an interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We finally turned off the 16 and onto the 37 which is the Stewart cassiar highway which will take us to the Alaska highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We turned off onto the 37a, a 45 min scenic detour to the town of Stewart. It was an amazing drive through mountains and a massive glacier you could see from the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stewart is a quaint little town on the Alaskan border. You can drive to Alaska from here but the road soon runs out, so we\u2019re not going that way. We walked out on a boardwalk that goes over the estuary. It\u2019s weird being so close the the sea again and we could smell it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We didn\u2019t like the campgrounds in town so we headed back towards the Alaska highway. We turned off down a dirt road surrounded by trees and after a short drive, found the most amazing freedom camping spot beside a lake with the snow capped mountains behind. It was perfect!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
