NO GLACIER :( -- Glacier!! :)
We left Fish Creek after a couple of hours to drive up a windy gravel road back into BC to see the Salmon Glacier--5th largest in North America. It was a cloudy day but we had hopes. And we considered ourselves pretty adventurous driving on this potholed road but there was little traffic. So we get up to the viewpoint--look out and see--NO GLACIER--nothing but a sea of cloud. So we ate lunch thinking the clouds would clear. Still no glacier. There is a guy up at this viewpoint selling cards and books and DVD's and he is called the Bear Man. The Bear Man told me that if we drove 2 more miles we would be below the clouds and guaranteed to see the Glacier. So we did--and we did. The views were so awesome we spent a lot of time stopping and taking photos. By the time we got back to the official viewpoint the clouds were lifting and we could see the picture postcard view of that amazing glacier.
