Left Birch Bay at 9:30 am and headed north through Frasier Pass. Huge mountains. Had hoped to drive further, but it was getting late so I stopped here at Cache Creek.
On the way here I stopped at Hell's Gate Airtram and took the ride to the bottom.

Above: A Frasier View. Looks like a post card.
Above: An 18 wheeler jack-knifed. We couldn't pass until the heavy equipment made it's way up the mountain to move the truck. It took about 2 hours.
Don't know if the driver was hurt or not.
Right: Here's the first bear I saw. It was a lot bigger in person--really. Here it looks like a little, fuzzy dot.
