RE: Brown Bears in Alaska | Geographic Harbour

in Weekend Experiences5 months ago

Damn those are beautiful shots for sure and absolutely a great way to spend some time. So tranquil! Salmon berries are something we’d love to try but they sadly don’t grow on this side of the US, but we’ve heard about them! We had a fun snacking experience with wild blueberries, raspberries and blackberries last week so I won’t complain too much :D

Sort:  

Yes, the salmon berries are not everywhere but are pretty scary to get to as well. We were basically walking on bear tracks the whole time. Of course, we had bear spray and were making noise, but getting near a bear is not fun. Thank you for your kind words.

Yeah I think we may have been near a black bear once when I was hiking with my son. By “near” I mean a few hundred feet but that’s close enough for me! Lol. We make a lot more noise when we hike but thankfully we don’t go into the deep mountains like some others yet.
