Bear Track

Contrary to popular belief, at Alaska West we don’t see too many bears over the course of the day. Unlike other parts of Alaska, bears in our neck of the woods are not very comfortable around people, so when we’re lucky to spot one, it’s usually a ways off.

That’s not to say they’re not around however, and often times a quick look around the gravel bar is all the proof you need.
