If you've never been down to Hyder, it's a town of fewer than 100 people. But it's connected by road to the town of Stewart, BC, which has closer to 500 people. These two towns have been tied at the hip for generations and Hyder residents have long relied on retail and services of their bigger neighbor. Since covid hit, strict travel restrictions at the border have created severe hardships for the Alaskans of Hyder.
