In 1965, there was a mine disaster at Stewart. 3 Fd Sqn, Royal Canadian Engineers, sent 50 troops to assist in the recovery of bodies at the mine site. I was part of it. We got Hyderized a little differently. We had to stand at the bars furthest part from the door, drink 3, yes 3 shots, and had to make it to the door without falling. I didn't make it to the door. Great memories of that town and it's people.
Stewart is my hometown. No better place. Hyder was second home, able to come and go as you please. Then they put up the useless border station... My brothers used to go overland all the time, avoiding the roads through the old trap lines and such
that was a regular stop for us in the 80's on the way home from northern BC. stock up on beer, haul ice from Bear Glacier, and of course get Hyderised. used to get a t-shirt and a certificate to frame. still have the shirts but they fit more like spandex these days. thanks for bringing back some great memories.
My husband and I spent a week of our honeymoon camping in Hyder, just by chance. I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Fishing Creek. We have a beautiful picture of a bear catching a salmon on our dining room wall. Just an amazing place!
the glacier is a sad remnant of what it was only 50 years ago. it looks like it has retreated about a kilometer. 50 years ago it was only about 400 metres from the road. and the road used to be high up the ridge.
i got hyderized in summer 1983. They put way more grain alcohol than these guys had, plus the place was packed and I was told if I puked or passed out, they'd take all my money and by drinks for the people at the bar. The remainder of the evening was stranger than strange.
@@rscott2247 No. I three+ fingers in a 14oz glass. The last thing I remember is an apocalypse-now scene where all the miners/trappers/bushpigs were tormenting an elderly couple in their motorhome, parked by the customs shed (because it was closed, they didn't want to cross the border). RCMP were called in from Stewart, which was a surprise. FWIW, this was 40 years ago, when Hyder was literally the last frontier town in the US...no police. Stewart barely had any, but they were RCMP. Again, 40 years ago in little isolated Canadian towns, RCMP were like Walker, Texas Ranger in a more traditional constable-type uniform. There wasn't much they weren't allowed to do.
Hey guys, when is the best time to go to see the salmon on that salmon viewing platform? I am planning on heading that way this summer. Anything you recommend to see aside from the fish viewing platform and the 2 glaciers?
I grew up in Hyder. Currently living in Alabama. I’m crying so hard right now. Carolyn was my music teacher. ♥️♥️♥️

I remember that border station. Didn't seem to stop anyone coming over from Stewart lol! They were pretty lax as I remember
We visited Hyder twice. I was impressed with the way the US and Canadian sides of the border co-existed. Sorry to se that era now gone.
Used to live in Stewart, what feels like a lifetime ago. Happiest years of my life. Thanks for the memories.

The most amazing view from the motel...wow. little towns like this have the most friendly people.
I am here after finding about Hyder Alaska as I just heard the news about border opening of the Stewart BC and Hyder Alaska ❤️loved this video
1:28 German license plates from Kleve, Cologne and Berlin. You gotta be kidding me :D

I can't wait to get hyderized again at that pub/bar. You're not allowed to sip it or sniff it.

Can you still cross into Alaska without stopping at a border checkpoint in Hyder?
This is where I want to live. Peace and quiet 🙏🏽
You should have driven up to see the glacier. Best part of my trip to Hyder on a motorcycle
I wish we could’ve! The road was too rough for our car

That wasnt the salmon glacier just to let you know. You still had about twenty more minutes to go on the road.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been up. Time for another trip this summer
...and she gets that Permanent Fund check every year, too.
Trolling motor broke? The main engine did not?
3:54 that glass of water didn't want to be drank. It slid away from that guy pretty quick.
I love this
