Bear Glacier is between Meziadin Junction and Stewart BC. It was overcast on our way to Stewart and just as overcast on our way out. (see it better at Bear Glacier in 2008)

This area on the north side of the Stikine River was being rebuilt after a washout in the spring.

We continued north with the goal of overnighting at Boya Lake provincial park.

We arrived at Boya Lake at dusk. The campground was busy and there were only a handful of waterfront sites from which to choose.
