Ride Report: To Hyder, Alaska through British Columbia

I rode 2,784 miles in seven riding days from Sandy, Oregon to the dual towns of Stewart, British Columbia and Hyder, Alaska during late June, 2013. I rode my 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 650. View subsequent posts for a detailed trip report and photos.

Ride to Hyder, Alaska

I just got back from a ride to Hyder, Alaska via central Washington and British Columbia. I'll post a detailed ride report, but I'll summarize here.

1. I've never met a Canadian I didn't like, and this trip proved them to be very friendly people.

2. I didn't see a single piece of litter or graffiti in B.C. anywhere.

3. I saw three different bears, one of which was brick red -- the rare Cinnamon Bear! -- but saw no moose.

4. My Garmin Zumo 220 GPS randomly resets itself; I'm unsure why.

5. The dual towns of Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK provide amazing scenery and are very much worth the trip.

6. I'm tired; that was a long trip.
