Trip to Stewart, British Columbia

July 15, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Stewart, Sightseeing Tours

This is a short video of my trip up Highway 37, across Highway 37A to Stewart, British Columbia. We took the time to see Bear Glacier,walk around the Estuary Boardwalk, explore the main street, drive to Fish Creek in Hyder, and drive halfway up the road to Salmon Glacier to Premier Mine Viewpoint. This video gives you a glimpse of the beauty surrounding the Stewart area.

The Beautiful Highway 37A

June 03, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Stewart, Sightseeing Tours

Highway 37A has to arguably be one of the most beautiful highways in British Columbia. That stretch of road alone holds beautiful cascading waterfalls, snow cap mountains you have to strain to see the top of and all kinds of wildlife grazing along side. The road itself is very windy and with a mountain on one side and the river on the other, it's definitely one to take slow, allowing more time to take in the surroundings.

Be sure to pull over along your way at Bear Glacier, a beautiful blue glacier found 20 minutes from Meziadin Junction. Once you reach Stewart, take a drive down main street and check out the local shops, or go for a walk along the beautiful boardwalk that takes you out towards the ocean.

Highway 37A is a breathtakingly gorgeous drive and I promise you won't regret the trip up north to take in the vast beauty.

Stewart + Hyder

February 21, 2007 | Tips from Travellers > Stewart, Sightseeing Tours

The towns of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, AK
share an international border and are a study
in contrasts. Stewart is a tidy Canadian town
surrounded by magnificent scenery. The near ghost town of Hyder shares the same incredible scenery but has a decidedly rowdy Alaskan flair to it. These towns are undiscovered treasures not overrun by cruise ship - tour bus tourists. The intrepid traveler can experience majestic scenery and interesting local culture without being a part of the tourist hubbub of more visited locales such as Prince Rupert or Juneau. The area's scenery rivals the Inside Passage and yet its visitor count is not high. The Stewart Highway is a must drive for visitors to NW B.C.
