Bear Encounter - Alaska
Viewing wildlife is high on the wish list of every Alaskan traveler. But to encounter and observe animals in their natural habitat is always a matter of patience and luck!
"Nothing provides a thrill quite like seeing
bears in the unbridled nature of wild Alaska!"
In Alaska, it just may happen: you're suddenly face to face with a grizzly bear!
Every summer bears come down to the rivers to gorge on salmon. With their sharp claws and teeth, they catch a salmon from the river and devour it in a short time. Bears build up a layer of fat before beginning their long winter sleep.
Location: Solomon Gulch, Alaska
