Wrangell or Petersburg
Anan Bear Observatory
Start with a boat ride from either Wrangell or Petersburg to Anan National Park. During the 1/2 mile walk to the observatory platform, your guide will point out various types of flora and fauna, birds and other wildlife. Enjoy the wonderful surroundings of majestic trees and rushing water as the bear feed on the salmon they catch out of Anan Creek. In 1999 a photo blind was built at creek level just across the stream from the main bear feeding area. This puts bear catching salmon about 20 feet in front of you!!! Bear viewing in this area may be best mid-July to mid-August.
