Stewart is a must see!

About Stewart:

Founded in 1902, Stewart has a population of about 500 people. In 1910, the population of Stewart hit its highest number ever at 10,000 people. At the beginning of the dirty thirties, Stewart's population hit rock bottom at only 10!

Most in Stewart work in the mining industry whether it be gold, silver or copper mining. In addition, Stewart acts as a port for the shipping of forest products around the world. A small armada of fishing boats also calls Stewart home.

The old firehouse, built in 1910, has been converted into a wonderful museum that provides delightful information about local history and puts its emphasis on the mining history.

Stewart is next door to Hyder, Alaska. You will discover natural and untamed wilderness and beauty here. Stewart is a place that you should visit because the scenery and the fresh air are well worth it all.

Stewart is a full day's drive from both Prince Rupert and Prince George.

Mountains and Glaciers:

Stewart has the honour of being Canada's most northern ice free port!

Stewart is located at the head of a 100 mile fiord known as Portland Canal. The fiord is mostly shallow, except along the rocky canyon walls where the water is deep near the shore.

Portland Canal is fed by glacier rivers. At sea level, the mountains go straight up to over 6,000 feet. An awesome sight without a doubt. The walls are lined with amazing waterfalls and on top, you will see sheets of pure glacier ice.

With the help of binoculars, you can see mountain death defying mountain goats eating and walking in the high meadows. The Cambria icefield is a massive glacier that has ice flowing in all direction. In turn, Cambria glacier forms other glaciers like Bear Glacier which is seen on the road into the town of Stewart.

The Drive of Your Life:

As you turn onto Highway 37A at Meziadin Junction, you will discover that you are now driving through some of the most incredible vistas seen from any highway in British Columbia.

The drive to Stewart is, at this point, now 60 kilometer (38 miles). You'll go past towering, snow-capped mountains and through the magnificent Bear Pass. As you go through Bear Pass, you will see hanging glaciers and, of course, the dramatic Bear Glacier.

The Bear Glacier is the largest of the ice tongues of the Cambria Icefields. There are plenty of opportunities to stop and take a picture of the stunning surrounding and alpine wilderness.

Alaska Next Door:

Three kilometers from Stewart is Hyder, Alaska.

Hyder's town motto is that it is the "friendliest ghost town in Alaska." The year round population of Hyder is close to 100, but, there is a ton of activities in this area during the summer months.

Local Activities:

Both Hyder and Stewart are fast becoming a world famous destination for bear watching. Both grizzly and black bears are plentiful and the bears are frequently seen during the salmon spawning time at the Fish Creek Bear Viewing Site.

Outdoor recreational activities abound in the the Stewart/Hyder area. Charter boats and guides are ready, willing and able to take you down the bountiful waters of the Portland Canal to fish for salmon or halibut.

If you would prefer, you can journey down the Canal into an eco-paradise filled with bears, porpoise, mountain goats and eagles.

Should you decide to cross over into Hyder and visit Fish Creek to watch black and grizzly bears, then you will also have the opportunity to see bald eagles hunt and catch for spawning salmon.

The Hyder/Stewart area also provides great hiking trails in the surrounding rugged mountains. For the really adventurous, hop on your snowmobile as you can go up the Cambria Icefields well into July.

Many Hollywood feature films have realized the natural beauty of this area. Insomnia which stars the likes of Al Pacino, Hilary Swank, Robin Williams and others is one such film that was shot in Stewart.

Fish Creek:

The friendly town of Hyder calls itself the "grizzly bear capital of Alaska".

Fish Creek is the reason for this claim because here you will find a raised platform. This platform is, without a doubt, one of the best places in the world to watch bears catching salmon as they migrate upstream to spawn starting in late July to September.

Kitwancool Totem Poles:

Totem poles at Kitwancool are perhaps the largest display of totem poles in a native village, with over 20 poles, ranging from brand new to over 100 years old.

There is also a carving shed containing old poles being renovated and new poles still being carved. Kitwancool is at the beginning of the Cassiar Highway.
