Just what we'd been looking for: BEARS


Although we had seen the distant bears at Denali and some of us had gotten closer than we liked to grizzlies in Haines, we still had not had our fill of bears. So off we went to Hyder Alaska, a small tip of the US perched on a peninsula of the Yukon. Hyder is known as a place where bears go to fish for salmon and where people go to observe them. The National Park Service even provides a platform for this spectator sport. On our first visit we watched this black bear successfully fishing.
