lifejogger Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Nice shot and picture. I need to take my wife to that island because every time we go to the mountains she wants to see a bear. We didn't even see a bear in Yellowstone National Park this last summer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went on a bear searching trip but the only bear we saw was next to the car park of the visitor centre while we were waiting in the bus. He was very quickly hustled away by a posse of staff. There were some nice trails in that area but I decided not to go on them when we got back as I didn't want to get that close to a Grizzly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Been to Hoonah and Tenakee Springs with a plane but never ventured past the town. Coastal southeast is loaded with bear and none are friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
