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.

 The less traveled Cassiar Highway is a wonderment of scenic beauty and adventure.
One never knows what will be encountered on
the Cassiar Highway.
