Bears, Bears & More Bears

Our day began continuing down the Cassier Highway to Stewart BC & Hyder Ak. Yes we are momentarily back in Alaska.  This is somewhere south of Juneau .

We saw 4 bears on the way. We have pics of 2 as we couldn't stop for the other 2.




We were going to the Fish Creek National Wildlife Viewing Area. The Salmon are spawning & the bears are catching the Fish.
That's how it's supposed to work.  There wasn't any action going on so we went to
get dinner.  We came back & waited & still nothing.

On our way back to the campground we saw 2 baby cubs out in the road.  As Steve started rolling another baby runs right in front of him.  So they all skedaddled to the bushes &
We didn't get a picture but they were so cute!!

We got up early today & went back in the am. There was a small black 🐻 eating berries right around the platform.




Once the excitement waned we headed off to see Salmon Glacier.  Wow, the road was 24 miles of frost heaves & potholes & gravel & dirt.  I think it was worth it.









We chose this beautiful spot for a picnic.  This is Clement Lake.  We are getting spoiled to eat in so much beauty!!





This evening we drove back to the observation platform.  There was a black bear up on the hill in the bushes.  You could
"barely" see him & it was too hard to photograph.  It counts as a bear sighting.  We found out at 4 pm today a grizzly was there for an hour & grabbed two fish!!

We waited 1 1/2 hrs. & visited with people.
We packed it in & a mile down the road a big
black bear crosses the road!! I didn't have my phone & got Steve's camera.  I planned to shoot out my window but he already disappeared.

That made 3 bears today, & 7 yesterday.  It has been amazing!!!  It's getting late so I will end this post.
